  1. ☐A
  2. ☐D
  3. ☐E
  4. ☐G
  5. ☐The value is the same for all.
Expert Solution
Introduction

The amount of energy that gets released when two ions combine with each-other to form a compound. It is inversely proportional to the radius of the ions. More the radius,lesser will be the attraction and hence,lesser will be the energy released.
