Question
In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions), which affects lattice energy (a measure of the attractive force holding those ions together).
Based on ion sizes, arrange these compounds by their expected lattice energy.
Note that many sources define lattice energies as negative values. Please arrange by magnitude and ignore the sign.
||lattice energy||=absolute value of the lattice energy|lattice energy|=absolute value of the lattice energy

Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Lattice Energy
In this interactive exercise, you are tasked with arranging compounds based on their lattice energy, which corresponds to the strength of bonds in ionic compounds.
#### Diagram Overview
- **Vertical Arrow Diagram:**
- At the top of the diagram, it states "Greatest |lattice energy| (strongest bonds)".
- At the bottom, it states "Least |lattice energy| (weakest bonds)".
- The objective is to place the given compounds in order from greatest to least lattice energy.
#### Compounds to Arrange
The compounds listed in the answer bank are:
- LiCl (Lithium chloride)
- NaCl (Sodium chloride)
- KCl (Potassium chloride)
- RbCl (Rubidium chloride)
- CsCl (Cesium chloride)
Your task is to place these compounds within the diagram according to the strength of their ionic bonds, which is directly related to their lattice energies. Generally, smaller ions and higher charges result in greater lattice energy.
