Question

Lithium salts are mostly hydrated like $LiCl\cdot 2H_{2}O$ due to

A

maximum ionisation enthalpy

B

maximum degree of hydration of $Li^+$

C

maximum hygroscopic nature

D

maximum chemical reactivity

Answer

maximum degree of hydration of $Li^+$

Explanation

Solution

$Li^+$ has maximum degree of hydration due to smallest size in the group hence its salts are mostly hydrated
