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» Correct Answer - B Both Statement are correct but Statement-2 is not the correct explanation of Statement-1. The large solvation energies are associated with ions possessing high charge and small size. |
