Chemical Energetics and Thermodynamics · Thermodynamics

Enthalpy and Born-Haber Cycles

Analyzing energy cycles to determine lattice energy and the stability of ionic compounds.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the charge density of ions influence the strength of an ionic lattice?
  2. 2What evidence do we have for the partially covalent character in some ionic bonds?
  3. 3Why do certain ionic compounds dissolve endothermically while others are exothermic?
