What are the standard conditions
100kPa and 298Kelvin
Is Lattice Enthalpy always endothermic or always exothermic?
Always EXOTHERMIC
What factors determine lattice enthalpy?
Ionic size and Ionic charge
How does a decreasing ionic size affect lattice enthalpy?
Smaller ions have a higher charge density. This means that the ions attract to each other more strongly. Therefore, more energy is released when bonds form. Therefore, the smaller the ionic radius, the bigger the lattice enthalpy
How does an increasing ionic size affect lattice enthalpy?
Bigger ions have a smaller charge density. This means that the ions attract to each other more weakly. Therefore, less energy is released when bonds form. Therefore, the bigger the ionic radius, the smaller the lattice enthalpy
How does an increasing ionic chargevaffect lattice enthalpy?
The higher the charge on the ions, the more energy is released when an ionic lattice forms. This is due to the stronger electrostatic forces between the ions. Therefore, the higher the ionic charge, the larger the lattice enthalpy
How does a decreasing ionic charge affect lattice enthalpy?
The smaller the charge on the ions, the less energy is released when an ionic lattice forms. This is due to the weaker electrostatic forces between the ions. Therefore, the smaller the ionic charge, the smaller the lattice enthalpy
Higher lattice enthalpy means a higher or lower negative value?
Higher
What factors affect ionisation energy?
Nuclear charge
Shielding
Atomic radius
Greater nuclear charge = _______ ionisation energy. Why?
Higher. This is because the outermost electrons are more strongly attached to the nucleus. Therefore, more energy is needed to remove one mole of electrons from a gaseous atom.
