Which of the following is NOT the correct product formed when the parent metal is heated in air?
Explanation
When sodium is heated in air, it burns with a golden yellow flame to form sodium peroxide
If it is exposed to air (without heating) it forms sodium oxide . The moisture present in the air combines with some of the oxide to form the hydroxide and finally, after a time, the carbon dioxide of the air combines with the sodium hydroxide to form sodium carbonate which crystallizes to form the decahydrate.
