Structure of Atom

The formation of the oxide ion, O2−(g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown in below: O(g)+e−⟶O−(g) ; ΔfH⊖=−141 kJ mol−1 O−(g)+e−⟶O2 − (g) ; ΔfH⊖=+780 kJ mol−1 Thus process of formation of O2− in gas phase is unfavourable though O2− is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that,

(1)

O− ion has comparatively smaller size than oxygen atom.

(2)

Oxygen is more electronegative.

(3)

Addition of electron in oxygen results in larger size of the ion.
