The correct order of solubility in water for He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe is :

A$$He > Ne > Ar > Kr > Xe$$
B$$Xe > Kr > Ar > Ne > He$$
Correct Answer
C$$Ne > Ar > Kr > He > Xe$$
D$$Ar > Ne > He > Kr > Xe$$

Solution

As the molecular weight of noble gas atoms increases down the group its polarity increases due to which van-der-waal's force between them increases. Due to increased polarity of heavier inert gas, its solubility in water also increases. So, most soluble gas will be $$Xe$$ and least soluble will be $$He$$. So correct order is $$Xe > Kr > Ar > Ne He$$.
