This figure shows the interaction of a cation with surrounding water molecules.
(a) Which atom of water is associated with the cation? Explain.
(b) Which of the following explanations accounts for the fact that the ion-solvent interaction is greater for \(\mathrm{Li}^{+}\) than for \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)?
a. \(\mathrm{Li}^{+}\) is of lower mass than \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\).
b. The ionization energy of Li is higher than that for K.
c. \(\mathrm{Li}^{+}\) has a smaller ionic radius than \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\).
d. Li has a lower density than K.
e. Li reacts with water more slowly than K. [Section 13.1]
