For an ionic compound lattice energy depends upon

Question

For an ionic compound lattice energy depends upon (A) Size of the ion only (B) Charge on the ion only (C) Packing of ions only (D) Charge on the ion and size of the ion

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The value of lattice energy depends on the charges present on the two ions and distance between them. It shall be high if charges are high and ionic radii are small.
