Fluoride ion has higher hydration enthalpy than chloride ion. Give reasons. |
| Answer» Solution :Due to smaller size of F over CI, the electron DENSITY on the F atom is HIGHER than on CI atom. Therefore, F attracts H of `H_(2)O` molecule more strongly than CI does and hence hydratio energy of F is higher than that of CI. | |
