 <span>From the Born–Landé equation the lattice energy U ∝ (Z+ × Z-) / (r+ + r-) where Z+ and Z- are the charges on the cation and anion, respectively; r+ and r- are radii of the cation and anion, respectively.

The Z+×Z- term dominates. MgO has 2×2 (4) so it will have the higher U than Li2O Z+ × Z- = 2.
You only consider (r+ + r-) term when the Z+×Z- term is the same; smallest the (r+ + r-),  the larger is the U. 
U(MgO) = 3795 </span>kJ mol^-1
<span>U(Li2O) = 2799 kJ mol^-1 

MgO has larger.

Identify each of the following household substances as a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or non-electrolyte: salt solution
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Electrolytes are substances that can ionize in water. They could be acids, bases or salts as long as they give ions when they dissolve in water.

Explanation:

  • <em>Strong electrolytes</em> completely ionize when dissolved in water, leaving no neutral molecules. The strong electrolytes here are:<u> salt water</u>, <u>baking soda (NaHCO3) solution.</u>
  • <em>Weak electrolytes</em> do not completely dissociate in solution, and hence have a low ionic yield. Examples of this would be<u> vinegar </u>and <u>bleach </u>(which could be sodium hypochlorite or chlorine, which are weakly dissociated).
  • <em>Non-electrolytes </em>will remain as molecules and are not ionized in water at all. In this case, <u>sugar solution is a non-electrolytes</u>, even though sugar dissolves in water, but it remains as a whole molecule and not ions.
