Compare the relative stability of the following species and indicate their magnetic properties:
O2,O2+,O2- (superoxide), O22-(peroxide)
The stability of following species can be decided on the basis of bond order as follows:
O2 : KK
Bond order =1/2(Nb-Na)
= 1/2(8-4)
= 2 = Paramagnetic
Similarly, the electronic configuration of O2+ can be written as:
Bond order of O2+ = 1/2(8-3)
= 2.5 = paramagnetic
Electronic configuration of O2- ion will be:
Bond order of = 1/2(8-5)
= 1.5 = paramagnetic
Electronic configuration of O22- ion will be:
Bond order of O22- =1/2(8-6) = 1 diamagnetic
The larger the bond order,greater is the stability
Therefore the stability decreases as O2+ > O2 > O2- > O22-.
