Answer:
Explanation:
A shorter bond would require more heat energy to be broken. Therefore, the shorter the bond, the higher the lattice enthalpy. ... However, due to the square factor, the lattice enthalpy decreases faster than the hydration enthalpy. This is why the solubility of Group 2 hydroxides increases while progressing down the group.
