Question

The lattice energy of CaO(s) is -3460 kJ mol1; the lattice energy of K2O is -2240 kJ mol1. This difference is because K+>Ca2+ (size), K+<Ca2+ (charge).
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Solution

O2 is identical, polarising power of K+<Ca2+ thus, K2O is more ionic than CaO thus, lattice energy of CaO>K2O
