Q. The correct order of hydration enthalpies of alkali metal ions is:

Q. Assertion :The crystalline salts of alkaline earth metals contain more water of crystallization than the corresponding alkali metal salts. Reason: The size of alkaline earth metal ions is lower than the size of alkali metal ions. The lower the size of the cation, the higher is the hydration energy. So the salts of alkaline earth metals have more water molecules of crystallization than those of alkali metals.
