For the given pair of compounds, suggest which will have the most exothermic lattice energy?
and (ionic radii are similar)

Place the following compounds in order of increasing exothermic lattice energy. Explain your answer.

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is proportional to where and are the charges on the particles and is the distance between the centres of the particles. Use this relationship to explain why a magnesium oxide has a greater lattice energy than lithium fluoride.

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is proportional to where and are the charges on the particles and is the distance between the centres of the particles. Use this relationship to explain why a lithium fluoride has a greater lattice energy than potassium bromide.
