The formation of the oxide ion, O2−(g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below:O(g)+e−⟶O−(g);ΔfH⊖=−141kJ mol−1O−(g)+e−⟶O2−(g);ΔfH⊖=+780kJ mol−1 Thus the process of formation of O2− in gas phase is unfavourable though O2− is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that:
