The formation of oxide ion O2-(g), from oxygen atom, requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below

O(g)+e-O-(g);H=-141kJmol-1
O-(g)+e-O2(g);H=+780kJmol-1

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

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

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Generally, ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right in a period.
Reason (R): When successive electrons are added to the orbitals in the same principal quantum level, the shielding effect of inner core of electrons does not increase very much to compensate for the increased attraction of the electron to the nucleus.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.
