✓✗The formation of the oxide ion, O(g)2−, from an oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step:
O(g) + e− → O(g)−; ΔH° = −141 kJ mol−1
O(g)− + e− → O(g)2−; ΔH° = +780 kJ mol−1
Thus, the formation of O2− in the gas phase is unfavourable even though O2− is isoelectronic with neon. This is due to the fact that
O(g) + e− → O(g)−; ΔH° = −141 kJ mol−1
O(g)− + e− → O(g)2−; ΔH° = +780 kJ mol−1
Thus, the formation of O2− in the gas phase is unfavourable even though O2− is isoelectronic with neon. This is due to the fact that
- the addition of an electron to oxygen results in a larger size of the ion
- oxygen is more electronegative
- the O− ion has a comparatively smaller size than the oxygen atom
- electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving the noble gas configuration

✓✗Identify the wrong statement.
- The atomic radius of the elements decreases on moving from left to right across the second period of the periodic table.
- The atomic radius of the elements increases on moving down the first group of the periodic table.
- Amongst isoelectronic species, the smaller the positive charge on the cation, the smaller is the ionic radius.
- Amongst isoelectronic species, the greater the negative charge on the anion, the larger is the ionic radius.
