$\huge\underline\mathfrak\red{Answer}$

$\huge\orange{TREND}$

• The hydration enthalpies of alkaline earth metal ions decrease with increase in ionic size down the group.
• The hydration enthalpies of alkaline earth metal ion are larger than those of alkali metals.

Answer 2

Answer:

The energy released as a result of the formation of new bonds between ions and water molecules is called hydration enthalpy.

Hydration enthalpiesof alkaline earth metal ions decrease with the increasing ionic size down the group.
