Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of which alkali metals form superoxides when heated in excess of air, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Superoxides Superoxides are compounds that contain the superoxide ion (O₂⁻). In these compounds, the oxidation state of oxygen is -1. ### Step 2: Identify Alkali Metals The alkali metals are located in Group 1 of the periodic table and include lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), and cesium (Cs). ...

Lithium only forms monoxide when heated in oxygen. Sodium forms monoxide and peroxide in excess of oxygen. Other alkali metals form superoxide metals superoxide with oxygen i.e., MO_(2) . The abnormal behaviour of lithium is due to small size. The larger size of higher metals also decides the role in formation of superoxide. All the three anions abstract proton from water. The three anions are raleted to each other as follows: underset("oxide ion")(O^(2-)overset((1)/(2)O_(2))(to)underset("peroxide ion")(O_(2)^(2-))overset(O_(2))(to)underset("superoxide ion")(2O_(2)^(-)) Q.
