The greater the lattice energy,the greater the charges on the participatory ions and the smaller their radii.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Coulomb's law, the lattice energy is directly proportional to the charges on the ions and inversely proportional to the distance between them (which is related to their radii). Therefore, if the charges on the ions increase and/or their radii decrease, the lattice energy will increase.

The Greater the Lattice Energy,the Greater the Charges on the Participatory
