The heat of combustion of carbon to CO₂ is -395.5 kJ/mol. The heat released upon the formation of 35.2 g CO₂ from carbon and oxygen gas is 

• -315 kJ

The formation of the oxide ion O^2- (g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below,


Thus, the process of formation of O^2- in the gas phase is unfavourable even though O^2- is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that

• electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving a noble gas configuration

• O^- ion has comparatively smaller size that oxygen atom

• oxygen is more electronegative

• oxygen is more electronegative
