A

`LiCl gt NaCl gt KCl gt RbCl gt CsCl`

B

`CsCl gt NaCl gt KCl gt RbCl gt LiCl`

C

`LiCl gt CsCl gt NaCl gt KCl gt RbCl`

D

`NaCl gt LiCl gt KCl gt RbCl gt CsCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Down the same group lattice energy decreases due to increasing size of cation.
