Most elements form oxides and hydroxides...

Most elements form oxides and hydroxides with different characteristics. Often, regular periodic trends are observed in these oxides and hydroxides. Hydroxides of `Na` and `Mg` are distinctly alkaline, while oxides of `N` and `S` are distinctly acidic.

State the general trend in periodicity in properties of oxides, hydroxides, oxy-acids and hydrides of compounds of elements across a period and down a group.

An element of group 2 forms covalent oxide which is amphoteric in nature and dissolves in water to give an amphoteric hydroxide. Identify the element and write chemical reactions of the hydroxide of the element with an alkali and an acid.

On exposure to air, alkali metals get tranished due to formation of oxides, hydroxides and carbonates on their surface. When heated in air or oxygen they burn vigourously forming different types of oxides depending upon the nature of the metal. The formation and stability of these metals can be explained on the basis of size of alkali metal ion and the anion. Peroxides are colourless, while superoxides are coloured. The normal oxides are basic while peroxides and superoxides act as oxidising agents. Na_(2)O_(2) has light yellow colour. This is due to
