Document Summary

Lattice energy is the energy associated with the formation of crystalline lattice of alternating cations and anions from the gaseous ions. The born-haber cycle is a hypothetical series of steps that represents the formation of an ionic compound from its constituent elements. The steps are chosen so that the change of enthalpy of each step is known except for that of the last step, which is the lattice energy. There are two trends in lattice energies: due to ion size, due to ion. As the ionic radii charge increase as we move down the column, the ions cannot get as close to each other and therefore do not release as much energy when the lattice forms. Lattice energies become less exothermic (less negative) with increasing ionic radius. Lattice energies become more exothermic (more negative) with increasing magnitude of ionic charge.
