Which of the following has maximum hydration energy ?

Options

A. `NH_(4)Cl`
B. `(CH_(3))_(4)N^(+)Cl^(-)`
C. `NH_(4)Br`
D. `NH_(4)I`

Answer

1

Explanation

`NH_(4)^(+)` has higher hydration energy than `(CH_(3))_(4) N^(+)Cl^(-)` due to its ability to from H-bond with water and hydration energy of of halides follows the order `F^(-) gt Cl^(-) gt Br^(-) gt I^(-)`
