Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is abelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: is sparingly soluble in water.
Reason R : The ionic radius of is smallest among its group members, hence has least hydration enthalpy.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false true but R is true.
The Low solubility LiF in water is due to high lattice
enthalpy.
So, Lif as sparingly soluble in water.
Li has high lattice enthalpy.
A is true but R is false.
Hence, Option (3) is correct.
