  • Increase in atomic number increases the size of the element which in turn outweighs increasing nuclear charge. Therefore the outermost electron experiences strong screening effect from the nuclear charge.
  • The energy released as a result of the formation of new bonds between ions and water molecules is called hydration enthalpy.
  • In alkali metals the hydration enthalpies decreases with the increase in ionic sizes.
