The sBlock Elements - Result Question 31
####37. For two ionic solids
(a) The lattice energy of
(b)
(c) KI has higher melting point
(d)
Show Answer
Solution:
- (c)
has higher lattice energy because of higher charge on and , which results in higher attraction. is more soluble in water because of low lattice energy and higher hydration energy. Clearly (c) is wrong because has higher melting point as compared to KI.
