Answer:in decreasing pattern; AlN>CaO>LiCl>KI.
Explanation:
The energy required to break apart an ionic solid and convert its component atoms into gaseous ions is known as the LATTICE ENERGY.
LATTICE ENERGY has a trend on the periodic table. The trend shows the relationship between LATTICE ENERGY AND THE ATOMIC RADIUS.
Lattice energy is related to solubility, volatilty and hardness.
Down the group on the periodic chart, the ATOMIC RADIUS INCREASES, THE LATTICE ENERGY DECREASES. Which means that between Lithium ion and potassium ion, Lithium ion will have higher lattice energy than that of potassium.
The trend ACROSS THE PERIOD is that, as we go across the period, the charges on metals increase,consequently INCRESING THE LATTICE ENERGY. Between Aluminum ion with a positive charge of three and Calcium with a positive charge of two, Aluminium ion has higher charge, which means it has more lattice energy than calcium.
