  • Oxygen Ion Notation: Understanding Oxide and Superoxide Ions
    The notation for an oxygen ion depends on its charge:

    * O²⁻: This is the most common form of the oxygen ion, with a charge of -2. It's called an oxide ion.

    * O⁻: This is a less common form of the oxygen ion, with a charge of -1. It's called a superoxide ion.

    Note: While there are other possible oxidation states for oxygen, these two are the most prevalent and relevant in common chemical contexts.
