 <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.

The following reaction does not proceed to a product: H2O + Cu --&gt; no reaction. Why is that?
Anettt [7]
I think the correct answer would be because copper has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace the bonds in it. Substances that are not oxidizing do not react with copper since the redox potentials are very low. Hope this answers the question.

Why on moving from left to right in a period the chemical reactivity of element first decreases and then increases?
Helen [10]

This phenomenon is known as the periodic trends in reactivity. It occurs because of the arrangement of electrons in orbitals.

As one moves from left to right across a period, the number of electrons in the outermost shell increases. These outermost electrons are involved in chemical reactions.

Therefore, as the number of outermost electrons increases, the reactivity of the element increases. However, the elements have filled shells, so beyond a certain point, the outermost shell will be full.

The reactivity then decreases as the electrons are no longer available to take part in chemical reactions. Therefore, the reactivity of the elements decreases from left to right in a period and then increases as the outermost shell begins to fill up again.
