Lattice and hydration energies help explain ionic solubility trends, though the overall Gibbs energy also includes entropy. Select the INCORRECT statement in the usual school-level group comparison.

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

(C) is incorrect.

Fluoride solubility is not a continuous decreasing trend.

$Be F_{2}$ is highly soluble

the other fluorides are sparingly soluble, with a minimum near $Ca F_{2}$ and an increase toward $Sr F_{2}$ and $Ba F_{2}$ .

(A), (B) and (D) express the standard sulphate, hydroxide and hydration trends.

The hydroxide comparison starts at magnesium because beryllium hydroxide is amphoteric.
