JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2004)
- 61The formation of the oxide ion O2-(g) requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below
O(g) + e- = $$O_{(g)}^{-}$$ $$\Delta $$Ho = -142 kJmol-1
$$O_{(g)}^{-}$$ + e- = $$O_{(g)}^{2-}$$ $$\Delta $$Ho = 844 kJmol-1
This becausePërgjigju(A)O- ion will tend to resist the addition of another electron
