Assertion: Among the alkali metals, lithium salts exhibit the least electrical conductance in aqueous solution.
Reason: Smaller the radius of the hydrated cation, lower is the electrical conductance in aqueous solutions.

Important Questions on The s-Block Elements
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason . Assertion : is sparingly soluble in water. Reason : The ionic radius of ion is smallest among its group members, hence has least hydration enthalpy.
