Compare the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals with respect to their solubility of hydroxides.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Solubility of hydroxides: Due to of small size and higher ionic charge, the lattice enthalpies of alkaline earth metal hydroxides are much higher than those of alkali metal hydroxides and hence, the solubility of alkali metal hydroxides is much higher than that of alkaline earth metal hydroxides.
