How is lattice enthalpy related to stability of an ionic compound?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Definition of Lattice Enthalpy**: Lattice enthalpy is defined as the amount of energy released when gaseous ions combine to form one mole of an ionic solid. Conversely, it is also the energy required to break one mole of an ionic solid into its gaseous ions. 2. **Understanding Ionic Compounds**: Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The strength of this attraction is a key factor in determining the stability of the ionic compound. ...
