The hydration energy of Mg^(+2) is great...

The hydration energy of `Mg^(+2)` is greater than that of

A

`Al^(3+)`

B

`Na^(+)`

C

`Be^(2+)`

D

`Mg^(3+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Hydration energy depends on the charge and radius of the ion. Greater the charge, greater is the hydration energy smaller the radius, greater is the hydration energy.
` therefore ` Hydration energy of `Mg^(2+)` > Hydration energy of `Na^(+)`
