Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 8
####8. Which of the following pairs will form the most stable ionic bond?
(a) $Na$ and $Cl$
(b) $Mg$ and $F$
(c) $Li$ and $F$
(d) $Na$ and $F$
[1994]
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) The stability of the ionic bond depends upon the lattice energy which is expected to be more between $Mg$ and $F$ due to +2 charge on $Mg$ atom.
