Down the group with decrease in positive charge tendency to get hydrated decreases and hence the size of hydrated ion decreases. Thus mobility increases.

The following two figures represent
A
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is a dimer in vapour phase ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is chain structure in solid state
B
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is in solid state ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is in vapour phase
C
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is monomer in solid state ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is linear polymer in vapour phase
D
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is linear monomer ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is three dimensional dimer.
Answer :
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is a dimer in vapour phase ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is chain structure in solid state
The correct order of the mobility of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solution is $$R{b^ + } > {K^ + } > N{a^ + } > L{i^ + }$$ due to following order of hydration energy of these ions $$L{i^ + } > N{a^ + } > {K^ + } > R{b^ + }$$ and as the hydration of ion increases, mobility decreases.
$${\text{Hydration enthalpy}} \propto \frac{1}{{{\text{Size of cation}}}}$$

When sodium is dissolved in liquid ammonia, a solution of deep blue colour is obtained. The colour of the solution is due to
The blue colour of the solution is due to the ammoniated electron which absorbs energy in the visible region of light and thus imparts blue colour to the solution.
$$M + \left( {x + y} \right)N{H_3} \to $$ $${\left[ {M{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_x}} \right]^ + } + {\left[ {e{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_y}} \right]^ - }$$

Select the correct statements :
(i) $$C{s^ + }$$ is more highly hydrated than the other alkali metal ions
(ii) Among the alkali metals $$Li,Na,K$$ and $$Rb,$$ lithium has the highest melting point
(iii) Among the alkali metals, only lithium forms a stable nitride by direct combination with nitrogen
Amongst alkali metal ions, $$Li\,ions$$ are highly hydrated.

A certain compound $$X$$ imparts a golden yellow flame. When zinc powder is heated with concentrated solution of $$X,{H_2}$$ gas is evolved. $$X$$ combines with $$C{O_2}$$ to give a salt $$Y.$$ $$Y$$ is a hydrated salt which on reaction with $$HCl$$ or excess of $$C{O_2}$$ gives another salt $$Z$$ which is an important part of baking powder. Identify $$X, Y$$ and $$Z.$$

A metal $$M$$ readily forms its sulphate $$MS{O_4}$$ which is water-soluble. It forms its oxide $$MO$$ which becomes inert on heating. It forms an insoluble
hyroxide $$M{\left( {OH} \right)_2}$$ which is soluble in $$NaOH$$ solution. Then $$M$$ is
