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 the magnitude and ignore the sign.
a) Li₂S
b) Cs₂S
c) K₂S
d) Na₂S
e) Rb₂S

Answer:

Li2S>Na2S>K2S>Rb2S>Cs2S

Explanation:

Lattice Energy is a type of potential energy which may be defined in as, energy that is required to break apart an ionic solid and convert its component atoms into gaseous ions. More technically, it is a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity.

Lattice energy of ionic compounds decreases with increasing ionic sizes. Since the anion is the same, we consider increase in cation sizes. We discover that for gtoi 1 cations; Li+<Na+<K+<Rb+<Cs+. The ionic lattice energy decreases in the reverse order. Li2S will show the largest lattice energy since it contains the smallest cation in the list.

Which of these events is caused by contact forces?
harkovskaia [24]

Earthquakes along the San Andreas fault in California.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • When the two plates collide with each other, earthquakes occur. The contact between them makes this earthquake possible. The contact forces are responsible for the earthquakes as there is contact between two plates.          
  • The gravitational force is a force that is responsible for elevated tides happening on the east coast or the Jupiter's moons to remain in orbit. But this is not a contact force as there is no contact between them
  • Moreover, Without any contact, the magnetic force is a non-contact as it attracts the pins from a distance.
