Statement : The lattice energy of silver...

Statement : The lattice energy of silver halids is ` AgF gt AgCl gt AgBr gt AgI`.
Explanation : `AgF` is water soluble .

A

`S` is correct by ` E` is wrong .

B

`S` is wrong but E is wrong .

C

Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of ` S` .

D

Both `S` and ` E` are correct and `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Inspite of higher lattice energy AgF is soluble because ` F^-` is extensively hydrated and heat of hydration predominates over lattice energy .
