Lattice energy is ____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Citrus2011 [14]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(B) the energy required to break apart one mole of an ionic compound into its gaseous ions

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy that would be obtained from the formation of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions. Therefore, the reverse process that responds the question would be the energy required to break apart an ionic compound and convert its component atoms into gaseous ions.

Lattice energy provides a measure of the stability of an ionic compound. When the ions bind to form the crystalline structure, heat (energy) is released. To break the ionic compound into the ions that form it, it is necessary to provide an energy equal to that released when formed, i.e. the lattice energy.

Bob adds heat to a substance. When enough heat is added, A. its particles move closer together and the substance becomes a gas.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

C. its particles move farther apart and the substance becomes a gas.

Explanation:

A. is wrong because moving closer together creates a solid, not a gas.

B. is wrong because moving father apart creates a gas, not solid.

C. is correct because moving farther apart creates a gas.

D. is wrong because when heat is added particles spread apart because they vibrate faster. Although, in a solid the particles are closer together.

- Just know the states of matter and how the particles move and that will help with this problem.

Intermolecular forces allow which of the following substances to be the least fluid?
slava [35]
Out of the options, glass is the least fluid. The proof of this also lies in the fact that glass is the most difficult to melt out of all of the mentioned substances, and melting point gives us a rough estimate of the strength of intermolecular forces.
