The lattice energy is the energy used to break apart an ionic solid and convert its component atom into gaseous ions.
Rahibatic:
As you move down a group eg alkali metals, the ions get larger. This causes the lattice energy (when they join to a suitable negative ion) to decrease down the group.

it is simply the electrostatic force between the molecules which results in the formation of bonds like NACL
