Why is the calculation of lattice enthalpy more complex than just considering the interaction between ions?

Options

  1. ABecause ions do not interact with each other in a crystal lattice
  2. BBecause lattice enthalpy depends only on the size of ions
  3. CBecause lattice enthalpy depends on factors associated with crystal geometry
  4. DBecause lattice enthalpy is a constant value for all ionic compounds

Correct answer

C. Because lattice enthalpy depends on factors associated with crystal geometry

Step-by-step solution

The calculation of lattice enthalpy is more complex because it depends on factors associated with crystal geometry.
