Lithium salts are mostly hydrated like `LiCl*2H_(2)O` due to

A

maximum ionisation enthalpy

B

maximum degree of hydration of `Li^(+)`

C

maximum hygroscopic nature

D

maximum chemical reactivity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Li^(+)` has maximum degree of hydration due to smallest size in the grou phence its salts are mostly hydrated.
