Lattice Enthalpy and Born Haber Cycles
Analyzing the energy changes involved in the formation of ionic lattices from gaseous ions.
Key Questions
- 1How do ionic radii and charge density influence the strength of a crystal lattice?
- 2What evidence do Born Haber cycles provide for the degree of covalent character in ionic bonds?
- 3Why do theoretical and experimental lattice enthalpy values often differ?
