Lattice energy of an ionic compound depends upon:

A

Charge on the ion only

B

Size of the ion only

C

Packing of ions only

D

Charge on the ion and size of the ion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The value of lattice energy depends on the charges present on the two ions and distance between them. It shall be high if charges are high and ionic radii are small.
