Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following describes the term 'lattice energy'? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that lattice energy is related to ionic compounds, which are made of positive and negative ions.
  • Step 2: Recognize that these ions are usually in a gas state before they come together.
  • Step 3: Know that when these gaseous ions combine, they form a solid structure, which is the ionic compound.
  • Step 4: Realize that during this process, energy is released. This energy release is what we call 'lattice energy'.
