The formation of the oxide ion O2– (g), from the oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below, 
Og+e-O-; fH0=141 kJ mol-1
O-g+e-O2-g; fH0=+780 kJ mol-1

Thus, the process of formation of O2– in the gas phase is unfavorable even though O2– is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that:

1. Electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration.
2. O ion has a comparatively smaller size than the oxygen atom.
3. Oxygen is more electronegative.
4. Addition of electrons in oxygen results in a large size of the ion.

In which of the following options, the order of arrangement does not agree with the variation of the property indicated against it?
1. B < C < N < O (increasing first ionisation enthalpy)
2. I < Br < F < Cl (increasing negative electron gain enthalpy)
3. Li < Na < K < Rb (increasing metallic radius)
4. Al3+ < Mg2+ < Na+ <F (increasing ionic size)
