Step 1 of 3
(a) Here, we are going to explain the factors that are affecting the Lattice energy.
Lattice energy: It is the energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions.
\(\mathrm{NaCl}(s)\rightarrow\mathrm{Na}^+(aq)+\mathrm{Cl}^-(aq)\ H_{\text{lattice }}=+788\mathrm{\ kJ}/\mathrm{mol}\)
The magnitude of the lattice energy of an ionic solid depends on the charges of the
ions, their sizes, and their arrangement in the solid.
\(E=\frac{k Q_{1} Q_{2}}{d}\)
Where,
Q1 and Q2 are the charges on the particles in Coulombs, with their signs; d is the distance between their centers in meters, and k is a constant.
