CBSEENCH11008406

The sequence of ionic mobility in aqueous solution is 

  • K+ > Na+ > Rb+ > Cs+

  • Cs+ > Rb+ > K+ >Na+

  • Rb+ > K+> Cs+ > Na+

  • Na+ > K+ >Rb+ >Cs+

Solution

B.

Cs+ > Rb+ > K+ >Na+

The smaller the size of ion, the greater the degree of hydration.
Mobility space of space ion space in space aqueous space solution

Generally in a group size or radii of ions increases, So Li has the smallest size thus bind a maximum number of water molecules with itself and becomes largest in size (in aqueous solution). Hence, the order of ionic radii (size) of alkali metal ions in aqueous solution is 
Li+ > Na+ > K+> Rb+ >Cs+
Thus, the order of mobility 


Li+ > Na+ > K+> Rb+ >Cs+
