What is the Chemical structure of Sodium Super oxide ? I have read it in my book.. But couldn't figure out what was the chemical structure!

Would someone show me please???

I find it interesting that the WIKI entry does not have a picture of the structure in the information box on the right side.

But it does have a smiles

Sadly, this looks charged instead of neutral.

I think all compounds are found neutral in nature

Take the oxygen molecule and add an electron to it: that's superoxide. It basically has the same structure as the oxygen molecule, except its bond length is slightly longer due to the fact that it has more antibonding character. Like its neutral cousin, it is also paramagnetic. It's pretty reactive so it doesn't form stable salts very easily.
