Property of the alkaline earth metals that increases with their atomic number
the solubility of their hydroxides in water
the solubility of their sulphates in water
ionisation energy
ionisation energy
Which of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has hydration enthalpy higher than the lattice enthalpy?
CaSO4
BeSO4
BaSO4
BaSO4
B.
BeSO4
Hydration energy varies inversely with the size and in sulphates of alkaline earth metals lattice energy remains almost constant.
The order of size of alkaline earth metal is
Be2+ > Ca2+ > Sr2+ > Ba2+
Hence, BaSO4 has the hydration enthalpy higher than the lattice enthalpy.
In the case of alkali metals, the covalent character decreases in the order
MCl> MI>MBr>MF
MF> MCl> MBr>MI
MF > MCl> MI>MBr
MF > MCl> MI>MBr

NaH > LiH >KH> RbH> CsH
NaH > LiH >KH> RbH> CsH
