The formation of the $O^{2-}$ ion is first exothermic and then endothermic,as shown by the following reaction steps:
$O_{(g)} + e^- \to O^-_{(g)}; \Delta H^o = -142 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$O^-_{(g)} + e^- \to O^{2-}_{(g)}; \Delta H^o = 844 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
This is due to:
$O_{(g)} + e^- \to O^-_{(g)}; \Delta H^o = -142 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$O^-_{(g)} + e^- \to O^{2-}_{(g)}; \Delta H^o = 844 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
This is due to:
- AOxygen is highly electronegative.
- BThe size of the $O^-$ ion is larger than the $O$ atom.
- C$O^-$ ion resists the addition of another electron.
- DOxygen has a high electron affinity.
