Based on ionic radii and charges, which of the following solids would have the greatest lattice energy? A) SrO B) CsI C) MgCl₂ D) KF E) NaF

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SrO has the greatest lattice energy among the options listed because it involves the interaction between ions with a +2 and -2 charge, respectively (Sr^2+ and O^2-), which results in stronger electrostatic attraction compared to the other options that involve ions with lower charges.
