Question

What is lattice energy?Discribe the born- harber cycle used for finding the lattice energy of nacl solid
​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is defined as the heat of formation for ions of opposite charge in the gas phase to combine into an ionic solid. As an example, the lattice energy of sodium chloride, NaCl, is the energy released when gaseous Na+ and Cl– ions come together to form a lattice of alternating ions in the NaCl crystal.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is defined as the heat of formation for ions of opposite charge in the gas phase to combine into an ionic solid.

Example, the lattice energy of NaCl, is the energy released when gaseous Na+ and Cl– ions come together to form a lattice of the alternating ions in the NaCl crystal.
