Q. Which compound will show the highest lattice energy ?

The s-Block Elements

Solution:

With the same anion, smaller the size of the cation, higher is the lattice energy. The correct order of size of cations is -
$Na ^{+}< K ^{+}< Rb ^{+}< Cs ^{+}$
Hence, the lattice energy of $NaF$ will be maximum.
