1. | B < C < N < O (increasing first ionisation enthalpy) |
2. | I < Br < F < Cl (increasing negative electron gain enthalpy) |
3. | Li < Na < K < Rb (increasing metallic radius) |
4. | Al3+ < Mg2+ < Na+ <F– (increasing ionic size) |
The formation of the oxide ion O2– (g), from the oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below,
Thus, the process of formation of O2– in the gas phase is unfavorable even though O2– is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that:
1. | Electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration. |
2. | O– ion has a comparatively smaller size than the oxygen atom. |
3. | Oxygen is more electronegative. |
4. | Addition of electrons in oxygen results in a large size of the ion. |
