The tendency of forming chloride hydrates of alkaline earth metals is in the order of
- A Ba > Sr, Ca > Mg
- B Sr > Ba, Mg > Ca
- C Mg > Ca, Sr > Ba
- D Mg > Sr > Ca > Ba
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Mg > Ca, Sr > Ba
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Halides of alkaline earth metals form hydrate, so they are hygroscopic in nature. Due to this nature, they can be used as water absorbing compound. \(\mathrm{Mg}\) is smaller than \(\mathrm{Ca}\). Hence, \(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\) ion polarises water molecule easily than the calcium…
