JEE Main Chemistry question
A metal 'M' reacts with to give a compound 'A' (). 'A' on heating at high temperature gives back 'M' and 'A' on reacting with gives a gas B. 'B' turns solution blue on passing through it. M and B can be [UP SEE 2008]
Answer: (B)
Solution
The nitride formula shows M is monovalent, so M must be an alkali metal, ruling out (A) and (D) (Al and Mg are trivalent/divalent). Among alkali metals, only lithium reacts directly with to form a nitride: (A). reacts with
