Detailed Solution

  • Solubility of hydroxides increases

 Be(OH)2​ <Mg(OH)2​ <Ca(OH)2​<Sr(OH)2​<Ba(OH)2​

  • On moving down the group, the lattice enthalpy increases and the thermal stability increases.

 Be(OH)2​ <Mg(OH)2​ <Ca(OH)2​<Sr(OH)2​<Ba(OH)2​

  • The basicity of alkaline earth metal hydroxides increases down the group.

Be(OH)2​ <Mg(OH)2​ <Ca(OH)2​<Sr(OH)2​<Ba(OH)2​
