Detailed Solution

  • The smaller the size (small ionic radius) of the metal ion greater will be the hydration enthalpies.
  • The greater the charge density on metal ion greater will be the hydration enthalpies 
  • Among the given metal ions, Be2+ ion is small in size. The charge on all atoms is the same but due to the smaller size of Be2+ it has greater charge density.
