Question

Lattice energy of an ionic compounds depends upon:

• A. Charge on the ion and size of the ion
• B. Packing of ions only
• C. Size of the ion only
• D. Charge on the ion only

Answer 1

The correct option is A Charge on the ion and size of the ion

The value of lattice energy depends on the charges present on the two ions and the distance between them. Distance between the ions depends directly on the size of the ions.
