What is the lattice enthalpy of M₂X? What is the formation enthalpy of M₂X? Suppose the X-Xbond enthalpy were bigger, and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would M₂X be more stable? Or less? 750 kJ/mol -250 kJ/mol More stable. Less stable. It is impossible to tell without more information.
