Vedclass · Answer

(C) For $(a)$,the ionic size of isoelectronic species increases as the nuclear charge decreases: $Ca^{2+} (20) For $(b)$,in aqueous solution,the extent of hydration decreases as the size of the cation increases $(Na^{+} > K^{+} > Rb^{+} > Cs^{+})$. Smaller hydrated ions move faster,but electrical conductance depends on the mobility of the hydrated ion. The order of ionic mobility and conductance in aqueous solution is $Cs^{+} > Rb^{+} > K^{+} > Na^{+}$. Thus,the given order is incorrect.For $(c)$,the extent of hydration is directly proportional to the charge density. $Al^{3+}$ has the highest charge density,followed by $Mg^{2+}$ and $Na^{+}$. Therefore,the hydrated size order is $Al_{(aq.)}^{3+} > Mg_{(aq.)}^{2+} > Na_{(aq.)}^{+}$. This is correct.For $(d)$,the extent of hydration for anions is $F^{-} > Cl^{-} > Br^{-} > I^{-}$. Consequently,the hydrated size is $F^{-} > Cl^{-} > Br^{-} > I^{-}$. Ionic mobility is inversely proportional to hydrated size,so the order is $I_{(aq.)}^{-} > Br_{(aq.)}^{-} > Cl_{(aq.)}^{-} > F_{(aq.)}^{-}$. Thus,the given order is incorrect.
