Which of the following statements is true in relation to the formation of the stable ionic compound sodium chloride?Hint: Consider why the sodium to chloride bond occurs.
A) The net absorption of 147 kJ/mol of energy for the formation of the gaseous sodium and chloride ions is mainly responsible for the formation of the stable ionic compound.
B) The lattice energy provides the necessary stabilization energy for the formation of sodium chloride.
C) Sodium chloride is stable because it is formed from the combination of isolated gaseous ions.
D) The first ionization energy of sodium contributes favorably to the overall formation of sodium chloride.
E) The release of energy as the solid sodium chloride is formed leads to an overall increase in the potential energy.
