The correct order of stability for the following superoxides is (EAMCET 2008)
A.KO₂ > RbO₂ > CsO₂
B.RbO₂ > CsO₂ > KO₂
C.CsO₂ > RbO₂ > KO₂✓ Correct
D.KO₂ > CsO₂ > RbO₂
Explanation
As we move down the group the lattice energy and stability of the metal superoxides will increases. This is because the increase in the size of the cation increases the compatibility with this large superoxide anion.
