Answer:
Sodium and potassium
Explanation:
A superoxide is a compound that contains the superoxide anion.
The systematic name of the anion is a dioxide.
Sodium forms a superoxide NaO2 at high oxygen pressures
Potassium also forms a superoxide which is so strong and is used in respiratory equipment because it liberates oxygen and removes carbon dioxide and water vapour.
The superoxide formed is KO2
Lithium does not form a superoxide when burned in excess oxygen only lithium oxide is formed.
