All the halides of group 2 elements form hydrates and are hygroscopic (absorb water vapor from the air). Which of the following is the most hydrated chloride ?

A

`MgCI_(2)`

B

`CaCI_(2)`

C

`SrCI_(2)`

D

`BaCI_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The tendency to form halide hydrates gradually decreases downthhe group due to the decrease of charge density of `M^(2+)` ion: `MgCl_(2).6H_(2)O,CaCl_(2).6H_(2)O,SrCl_(2).6H_(2)O, and BaCl_(2),2H_(2)O`
