Answer:
H Cs Rb K Na Li (decreasing)
Explanation:
H has max conductivity
Cs greater than li bcoz of hydration
By the way I have cleared IJSO level 2 in class 9 and appeared level 3 in mumbai

Answer :- H>Cs>Rb>K>Na>Li
Explain:-
Conductivity will depend upon their state. In liquid state Li+ will be more conductive than Na+ because of its smaller size. But in hydrated state Na+ will be more conductive than Li+. In this case effetive size of Li+ ion will be more than Na+ ion as there will be more hydration of Li+ ion. Li+ will have greater charge density than Na+; so there will be more hydration of Li+ and it will be effectively larger in size than Na+ and becomes less conductive than Na+.
Hope this answer will satisfy you.
