Out of `MgO` and `NaCl`, which has higher lattice energy and why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which compound, MgO or NaCl, has higher lattice energy, we need to analyze the factors that influence lattice energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Lattice Energy**: Lattice energy is the amount of energy released when one mole of an ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions. It can also be understood as the energy required to separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions. 2. **Identify the Charges of Ions**: ...
