Statement 1 : If a metal forms a number of ions such as M^(+), M^(2+), M^(3+) etc. then the hydration energies associated with these ions increase in that order. Statement 2 : The energies required to produce M^(+), M^(2+)and M^(3+) ions in gaseous state from metal increase in the order M^(+) lt M^(2+) lt M^(3+). |

Answer» The LARGE solvation energies are associated with ions POSSESSING HIGH CHARGE and small size. |
