    Which of the following alkali metal ions has lowest ionic mobility in aqueous solutions?

    A)  \[R{{b}^{+}}\]           

    B)  \[C{{s}^{+}}\]

    C)  \[L{{i}^{+}}\]            

    D)  \[N{{a}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Smaller ions are hydrated to greater extent. As a result they had largest size and least mobility. \[\because \] \[L{{i}^{+}}\] is smallest cation among\[L{{i}^{+}},\,\,\,N{{a}^{+}},\,\,\,C{{s}^{+}}\] and \[R{{b}^{+}}\]. It is most extensively hydrated. Has least mobility in aqueous solution.
