Q. Assertion :Speed of ions depends upon nature of ions only. Reason: Mobility of ions depends upon mass, charge and size of ions only.

An ion has very high charge and very high lattice energy. What do you think can be the size of this ion?

Q. Lattice energy and hydration energy are two important properties of ionic solids on which their melting point, boiling point and solubility depend. Lattice energy increases as the charge on the ion increases and the size decreases. Hydration energy increases as the size of the ion decreases and charges on it increases.
