Question

Select correct statment.

• A. Both lattice energy and hydration energies decrease with ionic size
• B. Lattice energy can be calculate using Born-Haber cycle
• C. If the anion is large compared to the cation, the lattice energy will remain almost constant within a particular group
• D. All the above are correct statements

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All the above are correct statements

We know, both hydration energy and lattice energy decreases as size of ions increases. So, as we move down the group, lattice energy and hydration energy decreases.
