Which of the following has the highest lattice energy? 1) SrCl2 2) RbF 3) SrF2 4) RbI 5) CaF2 6) CaCl2
Added by Vagec M.
Step 1
It is directly proportional to the product of the charges of the ions and inversely proportional to the sum of the radii of the ions. 1) SrCl2: Sr2+ and Cl- ions. 2) RbF: Rb+ and F- ions. 3) SrF2: Sr2+ and F- ions. 4) RbI: Rb+ and I- ions. 5) CaF2: Ca2+ and Show more…

Which of the following has greatest lattice energy? MgBr2 MgF2 MgCl2 MgI2
Vishal S.
Given the compounds CaF2, MgF2 and SrF2. ( SrF2, CaF2 or MgF2) has the highest lattice energy because it has the (largest sizes, smallest charges, smallest sizes, or largest charges) which results in the (weakest, strongest) attraction between the ions. please choose correct options from each set of parantheses.
