On hydrolysis, alkali metal oxides give the corresponding metallic hydroxides.
Li2O + H2O → 2LiOH
Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH
The peroxides of alkali metals give the corresponding metallic hydroxide and H2O2.
Na2O2 + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2O2
whereas, the superoxides of alkali metals give the corresponding metallic hydroxide, H2O2 and O2
2NaO2 + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2O2 + O2
Be(OH)2 cannot be prepared by hydrolysis of BeO as it is insoluble in water.
