Na2O2 is 2Na+ and O2−2 There is no unpaired electron on either on Na+ or O2−2 . Hence it is diamagnetic. O3andN2O have even number of electrons, so they are diamagnetic. KO2 is K+ and O2-. The species O2- has one unpaired electron. Thus it must be paramagnetic.

Na2o2 is a alkali metal oxide ,and all alkali metal oxides r diamagnetic hence na2o2 is diamagnetic.
