Answer:
Ionic solids tend to be very stable compounds. The enthalpies of formation of the ionic molecules cannot alone account for this stability. These compounds have an additional stability due to the lattice energy of the solid structure

Heya ❤
Your answer ⬇️
Lattice energy is a measure of energy released in ionic crystals when the ions are brought together from infinity. It measures the attraction between ions so that they are held in a position. Ionic compound stability is mostly due to lattice energy.
