Property of the alkaline earth metals that increases with their atomic number
Multiple Choice Options
- A solubility of their hydroxides in water
- B solubility of their sulphates in water
- C ionization energy
- D electronegativity
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
On moving down the group, basic nature of
these hydroxides increases due to low ionization
enthalpies because M-O bond in MOH is weak and
thus break to give OH � ions in the solution.
