S Block Elements Question 83

Question: The mobility of metal ions in aqueous medium $ (L{{i}^{+}},N{{a}^{+}},{{K}^{+}},R{{b}^{+}}) $ in the electric field, follows the order

Options:

A) $ L{{i}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}}>{{K}^{+}}>R{{b}^{+}} $

B) $ R{{b}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}}={{K}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}} $

C) $ L{{i}^{+}}<N{{a}^{+}}<{{K}^{+}}<R{{b}^{+}} $

D) $ N{{a}^{+}}={{K}^{+}}>R{{b}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Down the group with decrease in positive charge tendency to get hydrated decreases and hence the size of hydrated ion decreases. Thus mobility increases.
