(a) On moving down the alkali group, the ionic and atomic sizes of the metals increase. The given alkali metal ions can be arranged in the increasing order of their ionic sizes as:
Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+
Smaller the size of an ion, the more highly is it hydrated. Since Li+ is the smallest, it gets heavily hydrated in an aqueous solution. On the other hand, Cs+ is the largest and so it is the least hydrated. The given alkali metal ions can be arranged in the decreasing order of their hydrations as:
Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+
Greater the mass of a hydrated ion, the lower is its ionic mobility. Therefore, hydrated Li+ is the least mobile and hydrated Cs+ is the most mobile. Thus, the given alkali metal ions can be arranged in the increasing order of their mobilities as:
Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+
(b) Unlike the other elements of group 1, Li reacts directly with nitrogen to form lithium nitride. This is because Li+ is very small in size and so its size is the most compatible with the N3– ion. Hence, the lattice energy released is very high. This energy also overcomes the high amount of energy required for the formation of the N3– ion.
(c) Electrode potential (E°) of any M2+/M electrode depends upon three factors:
(i) Ionisation enthalpy
(ii) Enthalpy of hydration
(iii) Enthalpy of vaporisation
The combined effect of these factors is approximately the same for Ca, Sr, and Ba. Hence, their electrode potentials are nearly constant.

H 2O 2 is unstable under alkaline conditions. Decomposition is catalysed by various redox-active ions or compounds, including most transition metals and their compounds (e.g. manganese dioxide ( MnO 2), silver, and platinum).

Temporary Hardness: Caused by bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium. This hardness can be easily removed by boiling, as the bicarbonates decompose to insoluble carbonates that can be filtered out.
Permanent Hardness: A tougher nut to crack, arising from chlorides and sulfates of calcium and magnesium.
