The degree of hydration……down the group from `Li^(+)` to `Cs^(+)`-

The hydration enthalpies of alkali metal ions decrease down the group from Li^(+)" to "Cs^(+) -Why?

The tendency of alkali metal cations to undergo hydration............ in going from Li^(+) " to " Cs^(+) .

The solubility of alkli metals salts in water is due to the fact that the cations get hydrated by water molecules. The degree of hydration depends upon the size of the cation. If the trend of relative ionic radii is Cs^(+) gt Rb^(+) gt K^(+) gt Na^(+) gt Li^(+) . What is the relative degree of hydration?

The ionization enthalpies of the alkali metals decrease down the group from Li to Cs because :

The correct order of degree of hydration of M^(+) ions of alkali metals is :
