Question

Lattice energy of an ionic compound depends upon : (A) charge on the ion and size of the ion (B) packing of ions only (C) size of the ion only (D) charge on the ion only

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Greater the charge, smaller the radius, greater the polarising power and thus greater the covalent nature. This leads to increase in lattice energy.

packing of ions only

size of the ion only

charge on the ion only

Greater the charge, smaller the radius, greater the polarising power and thus greater the covalent nature. This leads to increase in lattice energy.
