Which of the following is the correct order of stability for the given superoxide’s ? (JIPMER 2017) (a) KO RbO CsO (b) CsO RbO KO (c) RbO CsO KO (d) KO CsO RbO
Answer
A
Explanation
With progressive increase in the size of alkali metal ions, the stability of superoxides increases because the size of superoxide ion is large and large cation can be stabilized more by large anion. Therefore, the order of stability is 2 2 2 KO RbO CsO
