Which compound will show the highest lattice energy ?

A

KF

B

NaF

C

CsF

D

RbF

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The amount of energy released when cation and anions are brought from infinity to their respective sites in the crystal lattice to form one mole of the ionic compounds is called the lattice energy. `Na^+` being smallest in size have highest lattice energy.
