The compounds of Ca are-

Calcium hydride can be obtained by heating : 

1. Calcium oxide with hydrogen.

2. Calcium oxide with hydrogen under pressure.

3. Calcium with hydrogen under pressure.

4. Calcium with hydrogen at a very low temperature.

Mark the incorrect statement:

(1) Alkali metals are strong reducing agents.

(2) The electropositive nature of alkali metals decreases with increase in atomic number.

(3) Alkali metals have relatively low electronegativity values.

(4) On burning in oxygen lithium forms only the monoxide while other alkali metals form peroxides and or superoxides.

A hydrated water soluble salt, A in solution gives a turbidity with dilute hydrochloric acid evolving a gas with a suffocation odour. The solution of A decolourises lodine solution. A is likely to be

2. $N{a}_{2}S{O}_4.10H_{2}O$

3. $N{a}_2{S}_2{O}_3.5H_{2}O$                   

4. $AgN{O}_3$
