NEET2017Chemistrys Block ElementsActual
Ionic mobility of which of the following alkali metal ions is lowest when aqueous solution of their salt are put under an electric field?
Options
- ANa
- BK
- CRb
- DLi
Correct answer
D. Li
Step-by-step solution
Li + being smallest, has maximum charge density. ∴   Li + is most heavily hydrated among all alkali metal ions. Effective size of Li + in aq. solution is therefore, largest. ∴ Moves slowest under electric field.
