In KO2, the nature of oxygen species and
the oxidation state of oxygen atom are,
respectively :
Oxide and −2
Superoxide and −1/2
Peroxide and −1/2
Superoxide and −1
As we have learnt,
Characteristics of superoxides -
1. Strong oxidising agent
2. Paramagnetic and coloured
3. Orange or yellow
4. Solid at room temperature
-
