Question
Stronger the ion-dipole interactions more ordered the water molecules become by organizing around the ion. This
decreases the entropy and leads to lower thermodynamic stability. Let’s think about the relationship between charge density of the ion and the ordering of water molecules around the ion
Arrange the following ions from weakest (1) to strongest (4) ordering effect on the water molecules.
1 = weakest, 4 = strongest
