KO2 is a superoxide in which, only one electron is released from the dioxygen atom and a superoxide ion is represented as O2- . So, in KO2 the oxygen atoms bear -1/2 oxidation state and they also behave as a free radical species, having an unpaired electron.We know that a molecule becomes paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electrons. Hence, KO2 behaves as paramagnetic molecule.
