Vedclass · Answer

(D) The oxides $(M_2O)$ and peroxides $(M_2O_2)$ of alkali metals have all electrons paired,making them diamagnetic and colorless. Superoxides $(MO_2)$ contain the superoxide ion $(O_2^-)$,which has one unpaired electron,making them paramagnetic. $Li$ forms only the oxide,and $Na$ forms the oxide and peroxide,but neither forms a stable superoxide under normal conditions. Therefore,all the given statements are correct.
