on finding the valency and nature of oxygen we

found that the valency is 2 and it is most simple in form of two so O_4 is unstable

but on the other hand O_2 is stable

9660486666mtmtmt: Well, Mr. Anshu, thanks for your answer but, it doesn't prove why is O4 chemically unstable since, sulphur's valency is also 2 but it combines to form S4
Anonymous: but both sulphur and oxygen have different chemical property
9660486666mtmtmt: Still, when O8 has existence possibilities, why can't O4
Anonymous: the bond of O8 will same as O2 but it is not so in O4 just becuase of its nature
