Which one of the following elements does not form solid hydrogen carbonate?

A Sodium
B Potassium
C Caesium
D Lithium

Correct Answer: Lithium

Potassium bicarbonate (also known as potassium hydrogen carbonate or potassium acid carbonate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula KHCO3. It is a white solid

Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder.

LiHCO3 is found in solution form while rest alkali metals hydrogen carbonates are solid due to the anomalous properties of Li and its diagonal relationship with the Mg.
