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, arrange these compounds by their expected lattice energy. Note that many sources define lattice energies as negative values. Please arrange by magnitude and ignore the sign. ∣∣lattice energy∣∣=absolute value of the lattice energy Na2S, K2S Cs2S Li2S

Answer:

Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

Explanation:

The lattice energy of ionic species depends on the relative sizes of ions in the ionic compounds. As the size of ions increases, the lattice energy decreases and vice versa.

When the size of the anions are the same, the lattice energy now depends on the relative sizes of the cations. Therefore, since all the compounds are sulphides and the order of magnitude of ionic sizes is: Li^+ < Na^+ < K^+ < Cs^+.

Therefore, the order of decrease in lattice energy is; Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

Salsk061 [2.6K]
It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO. It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.

The cube has a mass of 72.9 g.<br><br> What is its density in g/cm3? <br><br> What substance is it?
sashaice [31]
If the cube is 3 cm on each side, then it has a volume of 27 cm^3 (3 x 3 x 3). Density is mass divided by volume, so its density is 72.9/27 = 2.7 g/cm^3. 

<span>Going by the density, the cube is made of Aluminium - density is a fairly unique quantity</span>

Which of the following has the smallest radius? <br> A. O^2- <br> B. F^- <br> C. Li^- <br> D. Be^2+
nordsb [41]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Be^{2+}

Explanation :

Effective nuclear charge : It is defined as the attraction of the protons present in the nucleus of an atom to the outermost electrons.

For ions, the effective nuclear charge changes than the neutral atom.

There are two types of ions:

Cations: They are formed when an atom looses its valence electrons. They are positive ions.

Anions: They are formed when an atom gain electrons in its outermost shell. They are negative ions.

For positive ions, the removal of electron increases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus. Thus, the effective nuclear charge increases for cations.

From this we conclude that, the size of the cation is smaller than their neutral atom because it has less number of electrons while its nuclear charge remains the same. So, the nucleus attracts the electron more towards itself and leads to the decrease in size.

For negative ions, the addition of electron decreases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are less strongly attracted by the nucleus. Thus, the effective nuclear charge decreases for anions.

From this we conclude that, the size of the anion is greater than their neutral atom because it has more number of electrons while its nuclear charge remains the same. So, the nucleus attracts the electron less towards itself and leads to the increase in size.

Thus, the increasing order of radius of ions will be:

Be^{2+}

Hence, the smallest radius of ion is, Be^{2+}
