    If\[N{{a}^{+}}\]ion is larger than\[M{{g}^{2+}}\]ion and\[{{S}^{2-}}\]ion is larger than CF ion, which of the following will be stable soluble in water?

    A)  Sodium chloride

    B)  Sodium sulphide

    C)  Magnesium chloride

    D)  Magnesium sulphide

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Magnesium sulphide. Higher the lattice energy lower the solubility. Out of the four combinations possible, the lattice energy of \[MgS\](bi-bivalent ionic solid) is higher than those of\[N{{a}_{2}}S,MgC{{l}_{2}}\](uni-bivalent or biuni- valent ionic solids) and\[NaCl\]uni-univalent ionic solids) and hence,\[MgS\]is the least soluble.
