Which of the following is INCORRECT regarding Born-Haber cycle for the formation of NaCl?

Options

A. The cycle takes into account all of the energy changes involved in the formation of one mole of the sodium chloride.
B. The energy required for formation of one mole of a gaseous sodium atom from one mole of metallic sodium is called enthalpy of sublimation.
C. The energy required for formation of one mole of gaseous chloride ion from gaseous chlorine atom is called electron gain enthalpy.
D. The energy required for combination of `Na^(+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions (in gaseous state) to form one mole of solid NaCl crystal is called enthalpy of formation.

Answer

D
