Question

The radius and charge of each of six ions are shown in the table: \The ionic solids $J X, L Y$ and $M Z$ are of the same lattice type. What is the correct order of their lattice energies placing the one with the highest numerical value first?\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(d): The highest lattice energy is given by one with the highest ionic charges and smallest ionic sizes.
