MCQ (Single Correct Answer)
Consider the following reactions.
$$ \begin{array}{r} \mathrm{Cs}+\mathrm{O}_2 \text { (excess) } \rightarrow X \\ \mathrm{Na}+\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow Y \end{array} $$
Identify the correct Statement about $X$ and $Y$
Choose the correct statement from the following.
I. In vapour phase $\mathrm{BeCl}_2$ exists as chlorobridge dimer.
II. $\mathrm{BeSO}_4$ is readily soluble in water.
III. BeO is completely basic in nature.
IV. $\mathrm{BeCO}_3$ being unstable, is kept in the atmosphere of $\mathrm{CO}_2$.
V. $\mathrm{BeCO}_3$ is less soluble among all the carbonates of group 2 elements.
Assertion (A) $\mathrm{MgO}, \mathrm{CaO}, \mathrm{SrO}$ and BaO are insoluble in water.
Reason ( R ) In aqueous medium the basic strength of $\mathrm{MgO}, \mathrm{CaO}, \mathrm{SrO}$ and BaO increases with increase in the atomic number of metal.
The correct option among the following is
