Solution

The correct option is C 2 and 3 are correct
Hydration depends upon the size of cation, lower the size higher the hydration so Cs ion have low hydration due to the larger size.
Among the alkali metals Li,Na,K,andRb, lithium has the highest melting point due to the smaller size.
Among the alkali metals, only lithium forms a stable nitride by direct combination as 6Li+N22Li3N.
