Question
The stability of K2O, K2O2 and KO2 is in order K2O < K2O2 < KO2. This increasing stability as the size of anion ion increases is due to stabilisation of :
Options
A.larger cations by smaller anions through lattice energy effects.
B.larger cations by larger anions through lattice energy effects.
C.smaller cations by smaller anions through melting pointing.
D.smaller cations by larger anions through hydration energy effect.
Solution
It can be understood by the fact that the smaller cation stabilizes smaller anion and bigger cation stabilizes bigger anion.
