What is lattice energy and how is it related to the stability of an ionic compound?

Molten ionic compound

Which are ionic compounds?

Define bond order. How is it related to the stability of a molecule ?

How is bond length related to the stability of a molecule ?

What is radius ratio ? How does it help to predict the structure of ionic compounds ?

Solubility of an ionic compound in water is mainly dependent on: a.Lattice enthalpy , b. Hydration enthalpy Both these factors oppose each other and the resultant of these determines the solubility of an ionic compound in water. If lattice enthalpy has greater value, the compound is less soluble. In case hydration enthalpy has greater value, the compound is highly soluble in water. Compound of alkaline earth metals are less soluble than alkali metals, due to:

What is meant by free energy of a substance ? How is it related to its enthalpy and entropy?

Does boron form ionic compounds ?
