The paramagnetic species is
KO2
SiO2
TiO2
BaO2
A.
KO2
KO2 is a superoxide of potassium containing superoxide ion, O2- which has three electron bond. Thus, it can be represented as-
The presence of one unpaired electron in three electron bond makes this ion paramagnetic.
The statement true for is
it has a non-linear structure
it is called pseudohalogen
the formal oxidation state of nitrogen in this anion is -1
it is isoelectronic with NO2
