Question

Match the cations from List I with their properties in List II.

Answer 1

$L{i}_{\left(aq\right)}^{+}$:
Lithium readily reacts vigorously with halogens to form ionic halides.
$2Li+C{l}_2\to 2LiCl$
Lithium ion has highest hydrated size among the ions and highest hydration energy among the cations.
It has lowest ionic mobility among the ions.
$N{a}_{\left(aq\right)}^{+}$:
Sodium readily react vigorously with halogens to from ionic halides.
$2Na+C{l}_2\to 2NaCl$
$K_{\left(aq\right)}^{+}$:
Potassium readily reacts vigorously with halogens to form ionic halides.
$2K+C{l}_2\to 2KCl$
$R{b}_{\left(aq\right)}^{+}$:
Rubidium readily reacts vigorously with halogens to form ionic halides.
$2Rb+C{l}_2\to 2RbCl$
It has highest ionic mobility among the ions.
