Answer:
hey mate
Fluoride ion has higher hydration enthalpy than chloride ion. ... Hence, when the two are dissolved in water, the energy of hydration released in the case of fluoride ion will be more than chloride ion due to stronger interactions (ion-dipole) between the ion and the water molecules.

Fluoride ion has higher hydration enthalpy than chloride ion. Fluoride ion has smaller size than chloride ion due to that more water molecule can surround the fluoride ion. Hence, F- has higher hydration enthalpy than Cl-.
