Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: LiF is sparingly soluble in water. Reason R: The ionic radius of Li+ ion is smallest among its group members, hence has least hydration enthalpy. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A(C) A is true but R is false(D) A is false but R is true

Answer»

Correct option is (C) A is true but R is false

Due to high lattice energy LiF is sparingly soluble in water. Li+ has high hydration energy among its group members due to smallest size.
