How does the size of the ion affect the stability of substituted ammonium cations in water?

Options

  1. ALarger ions are more stable due to greater solvation.
  2. BLarger ions are less stable due to greater solvation.
  3. CSmaller ions are more stable due to greater solvation.
  4. DSmaller ions are less stable due to greater solvation.

Correct answer

B. Larger ions are less stable due to greater solvation.

Step-by-step solution

Larger ions experience greater solvation, which reduces their stability.
