B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The low solubility of LiF in water is due to its high lattice enthalpy whereas low solubility of CsI is due to smaller hydration enthalpy of its two ions.
