Answer:

Ionization energy : energy required to take out an electron from the valance orbital of an atom.

Electron affinity: electron affinity of an atom measures the amount of energy released when an electron is forcibly entered or pushed into the valence orbital of an atom.

Ionization energy is the energy required to make an atom into a positive ion. Electron affinity is the energy released when an atom becomes a negative ion.

ionization energy is what is required to remove one electron from a normal gaseous atom to produce a +1 anion of that atom.

electron affinity is the energy required to remove one electron from a gaseous -1 anion of an atom to produce a normal gaseous atom.

Answer:

NaCl has a smaller lattice energy compared to CaO

Explanation:

We have remember that lattice energy increases as the size of the ions in the ionic solid decreases. According to Oxford dictionary; lattice energy 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."

We know that the larger the magnitude of charge on a cation the smaller in size the cation is and the size of anions increase from left to right in the periodic table. Hence Ca^2+<Na^+ and O^2- < Cl^-. Therefore the lattice energy of CaO is greater than that of NaCl.
