Q6 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry
Among the following compounds, the one with the highest lactice energy is
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
We know,
Lattice Energy
Now, for compounds containing ions of same charge, lattice energy is inversely proportional to the size, and thus it increases as the size of ions decreases.
In the given compounds, size of and is small and they both possess higher charge i.e. and thus has the highest lattice energy among all.
Hence, option is correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
