Chapter 3, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The unexpected bound length of F-F compared to the twice of bond length of F needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The bond length of homonuclear moleculesgetsaffected because of the repulsion force between the nucleus of the elements. The induced dipole moment of the F2 isalso responsible for the smaller value of the bond length of F2.

If an element is bonded to 4 other atoms and has a formal charge of +1, what group must the element be in?  I know that group 3A atoms are elctron deficient, and that period 3 elements and below, except for group 3A elements like Aluminum, can expand their octet because of their available d-orbital, which may not be relevant to this problem. I don't understand this question, or why the answer would be 5A. Is it because 5A have odd valence electrons, and can form free radicals, like NO?
Use the Born-Haber cycle to calculate the lattice energy of KF. [The heat of sublimation of K is 91.6 kJ·mol−1 and  ΔfH(KF) = −567.3 kJ·mol−1.  Bond enthalpy for F2 is  158.8 kJ·mol−1.  Other data may be found in the Ionization Energies Table and the Electron Affinities Table.]
