  1. A \(\mathrm{L} \mathrm{i}_{3} \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{LiNH}_{2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{NH}\)
  4. D LiNH
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{NH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathbf{L i}_{2} \mathrm{NH}\)
The inorganic compound lithium imide has the chemical formula NH. A reaction between lithium amide and lithium hydride can produce this whitish substance.
\(\mathrm{LiH}_{2}+\mathrm{LiH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{NH}+\mathrm{H}_{2}\)
Lithium Imlde
The product is sensitive to light and can be disproportionated to generate lithium nitride.
