explain what happens to the size of the lattice energy when there is a highly charged cation and a small anion
-if the cation has a higher charge and the anion is smaller, there will be a stronger electrostatic force of attraction meaning more energy will be released upon forming a bond
explain why the lattice enthalphy for calcium flouride is much more exothermic than for potassium chloride
-F- has a smaller ionic radius than Cl-
-Ca2+ has larger chanrge than K+
-lattice enthaply is more exothermic for CaF
-greater attraction between Ca2+ and F-
which compound shows the greatest percentage difference between these 2 values
Lil
which equation represents the standard enthalphy of atomisation of iodine
1/2 I (s) –> I (g)
lattice energy
-the energy change when one mole of a solid ionic lattice is formed from its constituent gaseous ions (100kpa and 298K)
Na+ (g) + Cl- (g) –> NaCl (s)
-reactants must be gaseous
exothermic
Lattice energy is an exothermic process –> bonds are always being formed
Ionic compounds form strong giant lattices
lattice energy equation
e.g Mg2+ (g) + O2- (g) –> MgO
(must be ions + must be gaseous reactants)
factors which affect the size of lattice energy
-nuclear charge
-ionic radii
size of lattice energy
-Ionic radii –> the larger the radii of the ions, the less exothermic the lattice enthalphy
-Charges of ions –> the larger the charge of the ions, the more exothermic the lattice enthalphy
-increases across a period
-decreases down a group
electron affinity
Cl (g) + e- –> Cl- (g) (1st EA)
-1st electron affinity –> the energy change when one electron is added to each atom in 1 mol of gaseous atoms to form 1 mol of gaseous uninegative ions
-First electron affinity is an endothermic process since like charges of anion and electron repel (2nd EA)
enthalphy of atomisation
Na (s) –> Na (g) and 1/2Cl2 (g) —> Cl (g)
-Energy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from its element in its standard states (100kpa and 298K) –> endothermic process
enthalphy of formation
-Na (s) + 1/2Cl2 (g) –> NaCl (s)
first ionisation energy
-the energy required to remove 1 mol of electrons from 1 mol of gaseous atoms to form 1 mol of positive ions in the gaeous state
Na (g) –> Na+ (g) + e-
exothermic vs endothermic in terms of electron affinity
-1st electron affinity of chlorine is exothermic as e- produces cl- ion with a more stable electron structure with lower energy
-2nd electron affinity of chlorine is more endothermic as gain a 2nd e- to cl- which requires energy to overcome the repulsion of like charges
