Detailed Solution

$L i_{2} O, N a N O_{2}$

As per NCERT Lithium nitrate when heated gives lithium oxide, whereas other alkali metal nitrates decompose to give the corresponding nitrite.

$4 L i N O_{3} \to 2 L i_{2} O + 4 N O_{2} + O_{2}$

$2 N a N O_{3} \to N a N O_{2} + O_{2}$

However, the decomposition product of $N a N O_{3}$ are temperature dependent process as shown in the below reaction.

As temperature is not mentioned, we can go by
