Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding the reaction of alkali metals with dry ai — s Block Elements Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

In dry air, Lithium anomalously forms both monoxide ($Li_2O$) and nitride ($Li_3N$). Sodium mainly forms peroxide ($Na_2O_2$) and some superoxide. Potassium, Rubidium, and Cesium form superoxides ($MO_2$) which are yellow/orange and intrinsically paramagnetic due to a 3-electron bond with an unpaired electron, making D incorrect.
