There are a lot of empty space between the particles
Answer:
3) NaCl.
Explanation:
<em>∵ ΔTf = iKf.m</em>
where, <em>i</em> is the van 't Hoff factor.
<em>Kf </em>is the molal depression freezing constant.
<em>m</em> is the molality of the solute.
<em>The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. </em>
<em></em>
- For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.
<em>So, for sugar: i = 1.</em>
<em>∴ ΔTf for sugar = iKf.m = (1)(Kf)(2.0 m) = 2 Kf.</em>
<em></em>
- For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.
For NaCl, it is electrolyte compound which dissociates to Na⁺ and Cl⁻.
<em>So, i for NaCl = 2.</em>
<em>∴ ΔTf for NaCl = iKf.m = (2)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 2 Kf.</em>
<em></em>
<em>So, the right choice is: 3) NaCl.</em>

Answer:
RbI<RbBr<RbCl<RbF
Explanation:
As stated in the question, the latice energy depends on the relative size of the ions. When the action size is constant as in the question, the lattice energy now depends on the relative of the anions. The order of increase in ionic sizes among the halide ions is fluoride<Chloride<Bromide<Iodide. This order of increasing size means that the lattice energy will decrease accordingly as shown in the answer.
