Detailed Solution

As electropositivity of Metal increases reaction with water increases,  As the size of central metal increases electropositivity (or) metallic nature increases and hence ionic nature of hydride increases BeH2 & MgH2's are covalent hydrides Ca,Sr,BaH2 are ionic hydridesAs the size of cation increases stability of peroxides increasesSince, a large size cation [Ba+2] will stabilise the larger size anion [O2-2]
