Which shows the highest lattice energy ?

A

KF

B

NaF

C

CsF

D

RbF

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
NaF has high lattice energy because `Na^+` is smallest in size and lattice energy increases as the size of cation decreases. (In the given question anion is common in all compound)
