Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 115
Question: Lattice energy of an ionic compound depends upon [AIEEE 2005]
Options:
A) Charge on the ion only
B) Size of the ion only
C) Packing of ions only
D) Charge on the ion and size of the ion
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
The value of lattice energy depends on the charges present on the two ions and distance between them. It shell be high if charges are high and ionic radii are small.
