QUESTION:
Explain the trend in the lattice energies of the alkaline earth metal oxides.
ANSWER:
Solution 43 E Step 1 of 1 We are considering oxides of elements belonging to the same group (II A). We know that the ionic radii increases while we pass from the top to the bottom of a group (it happens the same if we consider the atomic radii). Moreover, we know that lattice energy depends on the size of anions
