Cations from smallest to largest Li⁺ ,Na⁺, K⁺ (from Periodic Table, the bigger number of period, the bigger size, of atom, so the bigger size of cation)
1) LiF smaller cation then KF 1,036 <span>853 </span><span>The lattice energy increases as cations get smaller, as shown by LiF and KF. </span><span>I think this one should be correct answer, because the compared substances have also the same anion, and we can compare cations in them.
The question is partially incorrect, because nitration of <span> methyl benzoate results in generation of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate, and not methyl 2-benzoate.
This a because of the present of ester group, which deactivated benzene ring at ortho and para position. Due to this, the electrophile (NO2+) attackes on meta position.
