Hydration \; energy\prec \frac{Charge}{Size}

\therefore  Li^{+}>Na^{+}+K^{+}>Rb^{+}>Cs^{+}

Less size more Hydration energy.

 


Option 1)

Li^{+}>Na^{+}+K^{+}>Cs^{+}>Rb^{+}

 

Option 2)

Li^{+}>Na^{+}+K^{+}>Rb^{+}>Cs^{+}

Option 3)

Na^{+}>Li^{+}+K^{+}>Rb^{+}>Cs^{+}

 

Option 4)

Na^{+}>Li^{+}+K^{+}>Cs^{+}>Rb^{+}
