Arrange the following in increasing lattice energy.

$B e C O_{3}, M g C O_{3}, C a C O_{3}, S r C O_{3}, B a C O_{3}$

Open in App

Solution

The increasing order of lattice energy is $B a C O_{3} < S r C O_{3} < C a C O_{3} < M g C O_{3} < B e C O_{3}$ . With increase in the size of alkaline earth metal on moving down the group, the lattice energy decreases.
