Difference among oxides, superoxide and peroxides are like such type .
Oxides, oxidation state −II;
peroxides, oxidation state −I; super-oxides, oxidation state −12.
Explanation
These oxygen derivatives differ by oxidation number. Typical oxides are Na2O, Fe2O3, BaO; these feature the oxide anion, O2−.
Peroxides are derivatives of hydrogen peroxide, H−O−O−H, and feature an O−O bond.
Superoxides have a formal oxidation state of −12, and are known as alkali metal salts, i.e. MO2 (M=K,Na,Rb).
