Q7 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (23 Aug Shift 1) · Chemistry

Which among the following compound shows the highest lattice energy?

  • Correct answer
    A
    LiF
  • B
    CsF
  • C
    $\mathrm{NaF}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{KF}$

Solution

The lattice energy of LiF is greater due to the small size of $\mathrm{F}^{-}$and $\mathrm{Li}^{+}$ions.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
