Hydrides are thermally stable when the size of cation and anion are in the same order. Smaller anions form stable compound with smaller cations. The thermal stability of the hydrides decrease down the groups since the size of the cation increase down the group. Hence, the decreasing order of thermal stability of group

IA hydride is \mathrm{LiH}>\mathrm{NaH}>\mathrm{KH}>\mathrm{RbH}>\mathrm{CsH} \text {. }

Hence (1) is correct.

Air is a mixture of several gasses, such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. The two most dominant presences in air are 21 \% oxygen and 78 \% nitrogen, along with 0.934 \% Argon and carbon dioxide of about 0.03 \%. Weighted average of molecular weight of these gases comes out to \sim 28 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}. Which is 14 times more than dihydrogen (2 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}). Hence, (2) is correct.

Atomic hydrogen when combine to form a \mathrm{H}_2 molecule, it releases energy in the form of heat. Which implies atomic hydrogen has excess energy and is unstable & more reactive than normal \mathrm{H}_2. Hence, (3) is correct.
