Question

In KO2, the nature of oxygen species and the oxidation state of oxygen atom are, respectively : (A) Oxide and -2 (B) Superoxide and -1/2 (C) Peroxide and -1/2 (D) Superoxide and -1

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

KO2 Potassium superoxide K+O-12 ; Oxidation state of oxygen in O-2 is (-1/2).

Q. In $K O_{2}$ , 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

$K O_{2}$ Potassium superoxide

$K^{+} O_{2}^{- 1};$ Oxidation state of oxygen in $O_{2}^{-}$ is $\frac{- 1}{2} .$

Q. In KO2​, the nature of oxygen species and the oxidation state of oxygen atom are, respectively :
