Chemistry · PYQ NEET UG 2023
हिन्दीThe stability of \( \mathrm{Cu^{2+}} \) is more than \( \mathrm{Cu^+} \) salts in aqueous solution due to -
Correct answer · Option 3
hydration energy.
Explanation
High hydration enthalpy of \( \mathrm{Cu^{2+}} \) ions in aqueous solution compensates for the second ionization enthalpy required to convert \( \mathrm{Cu^+} \) to \( \mathrm{Cu^{2+}} \).
