(a) Nitrates (b) Carbonates (c) Sulphates.
(a) Nitrates of both group 1 and group 2 elements are soluble in water because hydration energy is more than the lattice energy.
Nitrates of both group 1 and group 2 elements are thermally unstable but they decompose differently except LiCO3 e.g.
2NaNO3 →2NaNO2 + O2
2KNO3 →2KNO2 + O2
4LiNO3 →2MgO + 4 N

Li+ has the highest hydration enthalpy.
Hence it is most hydrated
Therefore, Correct order of hydrated radii is Cs+ < Rb+ < K+ < Na+ < Li+
