In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)

, which affects lattice energy (a measure of the attractive force holding those ions together). Based on ion sizes, rank these compounds of their expected lattice energy..
Note: Many sources define lattice energies as negative values. Please rank by magnitude and ignore the sign. |Lattice energy| = absolute value of the lattice energy.

Answer:

RbF>RbCl>RbBr>RbI

Explanation:

Lattice energy depends largely on the internuclear distance between two oppositely charged ions in a crystal lattice. The smaller the both ions, the greater the lattice energy of the crystal.

In the case of the compounds listed above, the cation in all the compounds is the same but the anions have varrying sizes in the order I->Br->Cl->F-. Since the smaller the ion, the greater the lattice energy, the order of decreasing lattice energies stated in the answer is thus well rationalized.

Plants are responsibe for a very important energy transformation what answer
Soloha48 [4]

Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic organisms. Thus, they convert solar or radiant energy into chemical energy under the process termed as photosynthesis.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic living beings. Consequently, they convert radiant energy into chemical energy under the procedure named  photosynthesis.  
  • Except for remote ocean hydro-thermal environment, the sun is the only source for all biological systems on earth. Plants catch just 2-10 percent of the solar radiation and transmit it as chemical energy. All creatures are reliant for their nourishment on producers (plants), either directly or indirectly. So there is a stream of energy from the sun (radiant energy) to producers and then to consumers (chemical energy).
