The magnitude of lattice energy of a solid increases if

A

size of ions is small

B

charges of ions are small

C

ions are neutral

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) According to Born-Lande equation,
`U=(Z^(+)Z^(-)e^(2) N_(A)M)/(r_(node))((1)/(n)-1)`
`:.` Ions should be of small size to have high lattice energy.

Explain the terms entropy and free energy.Why does entropy of a solid increase on fusion?

The solubility of most salts depends on the lattice energy of the solid and the hydration energy of the ions. On descending the group, the hydration energy decreases more rapidly than the lattice energy, hence the compound become less soluble as the metals gets larger. however, with the fluorides and hydroxides and the lattice energy decreases more rapidly than the hydration energy and so their solubility increases on descending the group. Q. Which of the following is correct order of solubility of sulphates of alkaline earth metals?
