QUESTION:
Problem 46E
Arrange these compounds in order of increasing magnitude of lattice energy: KCl, SrO, RbBr, CaO.
ANSWER:
Solution 46E Step 1 of 3 Lattice energy depends on the size of anions and cations that are in the compound. Moreover, there’s a reverse proportionality between dimensions and energy: the bigger the dimension, the smaller the energy and vice-versa
