Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An estimate of the strength of the bonds in an ionic compound can be obtained by measuring the lattice energy of the compound, which is the energy given off when oppositely charged ions in the gas phase come together to form a solid.

  1. Both lattice energy and hydration energies decrease with ionic size.

  2. Lattice energy can be calculated using Born-Haber cycle.

  3. If the anion is larger compared to the cation, the lattice energy will remain almost constant within a particular group.

  4. All the above are correct statements.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the given statements are correct.
(A) Both lattice energy and hydration energies decrease with ionic size With large size, the charge is more dispersed. hence, the extent of hydration is smaller. Also the packing is inefficient.
(B) Lattice energy can be calculated using Born-Haber cycle The BornHaber cycle is an approach to analyze reaction energies. The cycle is concerned with the formation of an ionic compound from the reaction of a metal  (often a Group I or Group II element) with a halogen.
(C) If the anion is larger compared to the cation, the lattice energy will remain almost constant within a particular group

chemistry lattice energy born-haber cycle born-haber cycles energy cycles

  1. In $(I)$ energy released. $(II)$ energy absorbed

  2. In both $(I)$ and $(II)$ energy is absorbed

  3. In both $(I)$ and $(II)$ energy is released

  4. In $(I)$ energy absorbed, $(II)$ energy released

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The first process represents the electron affinity of $\displaystyle Na^+ $  ion which is negative.
The second process represents sublimation of $Na$. The sublimation energy is negative.
Thus, in both the processes, the energy is released.


Hence, the correct option is C.

For the maximum ionic character during bond formation ,_________ on cation and a __________ anion are required.

chemistry lattice energy born-haber cycle born-haber cycles energy cycles

  1. low charge, high charge

  2. low charge, low charge

  3. high charge , no charge

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
For an ionic interaction, both the cation and the anion should possess low charges. If the degree of polarization is quite small, ionic bonds are formed,
Otherwise, with higher degree of polarization, covalent bonds are formed
Ionic bonds result from a redox reaction in which the atoms of an element , which (usually metal) has low ionization energy, give away some of their electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration
