Page 14018 3) The second electron affinity of oxygen is positive, making the oxide not likely to form as a free ion. When oxygen gas reacts with potassium it forms the metal superoxide, while reaction of oxygen gas with lithium forms the metal oxide. a) What is the chemical formula of just superoxide? b) What is the chemical formula of potassium superoxide? c) Why does potassium form the metal superoxide but lithium forms the metal oxide? Give a complete explanation for this difference, using words (you may also include diagrams/drawings).
