<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Lattice energy is the cohesive force acting between neighbouring ions in a lattice of a crystal or solid.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lattice energy is the cohesive force acting between neighbouring ions in a lattice of a crystal or solid. It is mostly predominant in ionic compounds.

The lattice energy is best explained and measured using Born-Haber’s cycle for ionic compounds. According to Born-Haber’s cycle, the lattice energy has two definitions.

(1) The lattice energy can be the amount of energy released during the formation of an ionic compound from gaseous phase by acting as the binding energy between the neighbouring ions in the ionic compound

(2) The lattice energy can also be termed as the energy required to break the binding energy in order to convert the ionic compound to gaseous phase.

the atomic number of barium is 56 what do you know about the subatomic particles in an atom of this element
Reptile [31]

Answer is 56 protons and 56 electrons.

<em>Explanation;</em>

Atomic number is equal to number of protons. Hence, when the atomic number is 56, it means that atom has 56 protons.

When the element is in neutral state, number of protons = number of electrons. Hence, we can say that barium atom has 56 electrons.

But same element can have different number of neutrons. Those are called isotopes. Hence, we cannot say that there are 56 neutrons in barium atom without having its mass number. (Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons)

Hi can u help me pls? I'm totally stuck . The natural source of acidity in rain water is _____.
kykrilka [37]

Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.
