Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 27E
Energy is required to remove two electrons from Ca to form Ca2+ , and energy is required to add two electrons to O to form O2 . Yet CaO is stable relative to the free elements. Which statement is the best explanation?
- The lattice energy of CaO is large enough to overcome these processes.
- CaO is a covalent compound, and these processes are irrelevant.
- CaO has a higher molar mass than either Ca or O.
- The enthalpy of formation of CaO is small.
- CaO is stable to atmospheric conditions.
