What is the energy that is released upon the formation of an ionic compound known as?(a) Ionization energy(b) Lattice energy(c) Electron gain enthalpy(d) ElectropositivityThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.My question is based upon Ionic or Electrovalent Bond in section Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (B) Lattice energy

Explanation: When the ions are COMBINED to form an ionic compound that is a crystalline solid, a certain amount of energy is released and this is KNOWN as the lattice energy. Solubility, VOLATILITY, and hardness can be predicted from lattice energy.
