Charge densities of metal ions decreases down the group. The attraction between the metal ions and the water molecules reduces as a result of reduction of charge densities down the group. The amount of energy released as a result of formation of one mole of aqueous ions from gaseous ions is reduced, which is the basis of hydration enthalpy.
