Expert Answer
Lithium being very small in its group forms only oxide. It does not form peroxide. If it forms oxide the formula will be Li2O (oxidation state of oxygen is -2) while for peroxide state at drastic condition the formula will be Li2O2(oxidation state of oxygen is -1). In oxide there is direct bond between metal and oxygen while in peroxide O-O- linkage will be present and metals are attached at the adjacent points.
