Assertion : The crystalline salts of alkaline earth metals contain more water of crystallisation than the correcponding alkali metal salts. Reason : Alkaline earth metals have smaller size and more nuclear charge.

Alkali metal salts ionic and soluble in water. The solubility of an ionic compound depends on (i) lattic ethalpy and (ii) hydration enthalpy. These two factor oppose each other. If hydration ethalpy is high, the ions will have greater tendency to be hydrated and therefore the solubility will be high. The smaller the cation, the greater is the degree of hydration. The reducing behaviour of alkali metals in solution is also dependent on the hydration enthalpy besides other factors. The radius of which of the hydrated ion is the highest ?
