Q. The stability of $K_2O$, $K_2O_2$ and $KO_2$ is in order $K_2O < K_2O_2 < KO_2$. This increasing stability as the size of metal ion increases is due to stabilisation of

The s-Block Elements

Solution:

Increase in the size of the cations, the stability increases. This is due to the stabilization of the larger cation with larger anion due to lattice energy effects.
