Question

The charges and sizes of the ions in an ionic compound affect the strength of the electrostatic interaction between the ions and thus the strength of the lattice energy of the ionic compound. Arrange the compounds according to the magnitudes of their lattice energies based on the relative ion charges and sizes.

The text discusses how the charges and sizes of ions in an ionic compound influence the electrostatic interaction strength between ions, impacting the lattice energy of the compound. The task is to rank the compounds by their lattice energies, which depend on relative ion charges and sizes.

A diagram is provided, labeled from "Highest lattice energy" at the top to "Lowest lattice energy" at the bottom. The compounds to be arranged in order of lattice energy are listed below in an "Answer Bank":

- CaCl₂
- CaS
- RbBr
- KCl

The diagram has an empty rectangular space where these compounds can be organized according to their lattice energies.
