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

Og+e-O-g   ;  ΔfH=-141 kJ mol-1

O-g+e-O2- g ;  ΔfH=+780 kJ mol-1

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