Dispositive ions have more hydration energy

Q. Alkaline earth metals form dipositive ions instead of unipositive ions because

Dipositive ions carry more charge

Their second ionisation energies are not different from first ionisation energy

Unipositive ions do not have stable configuration

Dispositive ions have more hydration energy

Dispositive ions have more hydration energy
