Question

Which compound will show the highest lattice energy ? (A) RbF (B) CsF (C) NaF (D) KF

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.

With the same anion, smaller the size of the cation, higher is the lattice energy. The correct order of size of cations is -
$N a^{+} < K^{+} < R b^{+} < C s^{+}$
Hence, the lattice energy of $N a F$ will be maximum.
