Lithium forms

A

LiO

B

`LiO_(2)`

C

`Li_(2)O`

D

`Li_(2)O_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`2Li+O_(2)rarr Li_(2)O`, due to comparable size of `Li^(o+)` and `O^(2-)` , `Li_(2)O` , is highly stable.

Statement 1: Lithium form hydrated chlorides but other alkali metals do not form hydrated chlorides Statement 2: Lithium has more polarising power than other

Consider the following statements 1. Cs^+ ion is more highly hydrated than other alkali metal ions 2. Among the alkali metals Li, Na , K and Rb, Lithium (Li) has the highest melting point 3. Among the alkali metals , only lithium form a stable nitride by direct combination . O these statements

Alkali metals burn in air to form oxides, peroxides and superoxides. Lithium burns in moist air to form normal oxide as the major product. Some lithium nitride is also formed if nitrogen is present. Sodium loses lustre and forms both normal oxide and peroxide, the peroxide being the major product. Rest of all alkali metals form peroxides. All metals can be forced to form oxides, peroxides and superoxides by dissolving in liquid ammonia and bubbling appropriate amount of O_(2) . Which of the following oxides is the strongest oxidising agent :
