Discover Rutherford's pivotal Gold Foil Experiment and its impact on atomic theory. Unveil the discrepancies with the Plum Pudding Model. Grasp the birth of the nuclear atom model through unexpected alpha particle deflections.
Lattice Energy: Always Positive; Hydration Energy: Always Negative
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
full solution
In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts
