Given below are two statements : one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.
Assertion A: LiF is sparingly soluble in wate.
Reason R: The ionic radius of Li+ ion is smallest among its group members, hence has least hydration enthalpy.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:Due to high lattice energy, LiF is sparingly soluble in water. Li+ has high hydration energy among its group members due to the smallest size.
