Show Hint
Reduction potential and solubility depend on ion size and hydration energy. Alkali metal hydrides are ionic due to electrostatic interactions.
- C and E only
- A and E only
- A, B, D only
- A, B and E only
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
• Statement A: True. The reduction potential follows the order Na > Rb > Li when considering their values.
• Statement B: False. CsI is not highly soluble in water due to weak hydration enthalpy of the large Cs+ ion.
• Statement C: False. Lithium carbonate decomposes on heating.
• Statement D: False. Potassium dissolved in ammonia is blue in colour and paramagnetic due to solvated electrons.
• Statement E: True. Alkali metal hydrides are ionic solids due to strong electrostatic forces.
