The solubility of alkali metal hydroxide...

The solubility of alkali metal hydroxides follows the order:

A

`LiOH lt NaOH lt KOH lt rbOH lt CsOH`

B

`LiOH gt NaOH gt KOH gt RbOH gt CsOH`

C

`LiOH gt CsOH gt RbOH gt NaOH gt KOH`

D

None of the above.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Solubility increases due to the increases in polarity or the weakening of `M-OH` bond down the group `(darr)`.
