lattice energy means a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity.

Lattice energy is a type of potential energy
lattice energy is the energy required to break apart an ionic solid and convert its component atoms into gaseous ions here lattice energy to always be positive, since this will always be an endothermic reaction.
or
lattice energy is the reverse process, meaning it is the energy released when gaseous ions bind to form an ionic solid according to this
process will always be exothermic, and thus the value for lattice energy will be negative.
Its values are usually expressed with the units kJ/mol
