Which of the following ionic compounds would be expected to have the highest lattice energy? A)MgS B)KBr C)K₂S D)BeBr₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MgS is expected to have the highest lattice energy because it involves ions with higher charges (Mg^2+ and S^2-) compared to the other options, which involve ions with lower charges. Higher charges result in stronger electrostatic attractions and thus higher lattice energy.
