. Lattice energy of ionic compounds depend upon

A: packing of ions only

B: charge and size of ions

C: charge on ion only

D: size of ions only

Best Answer

Correct Option is: (B) charge and size of ions

Explanation:-

Lattice energy is the energy released when 1 mole of an ionic solid forms from its constituents ions present in the gaseous phase.
lattice energy depends upon both size and charge of ions.
lattice energy increase with increase in charge of Ions and decrease with increase in size of ions
