Lattice energy of an ionic compound depends upon :
Options
- ACharge on the ion only
- BSize of the ion only
- CPacking of ions only
- DCharge and size of the ion
Correct answer
D. Charge and size of the ion
Step-by-step solution
L a t t i c e E n e r g y ∝ q 1 q 2 r c + r a Where q represents charge of ion and r represent radius of ion. Lattice energy does not dependent packing of ions.
