Question

Why ko2 is paramagnetic and calculate the oxidation state of k.

Answer 1

hey........

Potassium superoxide is paramagnetic. The simple explanation is that with a formula of O2⁻², there are simply an odd number of electrons in the anion (6 e⁻ + 6 e⁻ + 1 e⁻ = 13 e⁻ ), hence it is paramagnetic. ... The unpaired electron in the π orbital accounts for the paramagnetic behavior or potassium superoxide.
