Question

Lattice energy of an ionic compound depends upon
(2005)
(a) Charge on the ion and size of the ion
(b) Packing of ions only
(c) Size of the ion only
(d) Charge on the ion only​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)charge on the ion and size of the ion

Explanation:

The lattice energy of a crystalline solid is a measure of the energy released when ions are combined to make a compound. It is a measure of the cohesive forces that bind ions. Lattice energy is relevant to many practical properties including solubility, hardness, and volatility. The lattice energy is usually deduced from the Born–Haber cycle.
