Sodium fluoride

Lattice energy cannot be measured empirically, but it can be calculated using electrostatics or estimated using the Born-Haber cycle. Two main factors that contribute to the magnitude of the lattice energy are the charge and radius of the bonded ions.

Properties of Ionic Compounds They all form crystals. A crystal is made up of an orderly and symmetrical pattern of atoms called a crystal lattice. The crystal lattice shape is an arrangement that takes the least amount of energy to maintain. This is due to the strength of the ionic bond.

Lattice energies cannot be measured directly but are obtained from a thermochemical cycle called the Born–Haber cycle, in which Hess’s law is used to calculate the lattice energy from the measured enthalpy of formation of the ionic compound, along with other thermochemical data.

MgO

Among the halides of lithium, LiF has highest lattice energy due to similar sizes of cation and anion which results in efficient packing in the crystal structure.

The lattice energies for the alkali metal halides is therefore largest for LiF and smallest for CsI, as shown in the table below.

Lattice Energy

The lattice energy for lithium oxide is +1872 kJ.

Calculate the lattice constant, a, of the cubic unit cell. If the space lattice is SC, the lattice constant is given by the formula a = [2 x r]. For example, the lattice constant of the SC-crystallized polonium is [2 x 0.167 nm], or 0.334 nm.

(a) Use the known lattice energies for CasO4, 2653 kJ mol-1, SrSO4,-2603 kJ mol-, and BaSO4,2423 kJ mol-1, along with data from Tables 2.1 and 4.1, to compute the hydration energy of the sulfate ion.

Estimate the lattice energy using a Born-Haber cycle.

1. Cs(s) + ½ Cl2(g) → CsCl(s) ΔHf° = –433 kJ/mole.
2. Cs(s) → Cs(g) S = 79 kJ/mole.
3. Cs(g) → Cs+(g) + e– IE = 375 kJ/mole.
4. ½ Cl2(g) → Cl(g) ½BDE = ½×242 = 121 kJ/mole.
5. Cl(g) + e– → Cl–(g) EA = 349 kJ/mole.
6. Cs+(g) + Cl–(g) → CsCl(s) Elat
