    The correct order of hydration energy of alkali metal is:

    A)  \[L{{i}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}}>{{K}^{+}}>R{{b}^{+}}\]

    B)  \[R{{b}^{+}}>{{K}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}}\]

    C)  \[N{{a}^{+}}>{{K}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}}>R{{b}^{+}}\]

    D)  \[{{K}^{+}}>R{{b}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Hydration energy \[\propto \frac{1}{size}\] Decreasing order of size is \[R{{b}^{+}}>{{K}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}}\] \[\therefore \] Increasing order of hydration energy is \[L{{i}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}}>{{K}^{+}}>R{{b}^{+}}\]
