Question

The enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound forms from its gaseous ions is:
Options
A Bond enthalpy
B Lattice enthalpy
Correct Answer
C Heat of neutralization
D Enthalpy of solution
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Lattice enthalpy is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic solid is formed from its constituent gaseous ions. It is a measure of the strength of the ionic bonds in the lattice.

Hint

This process involves bringing gaseous ions together to form a solid crystal lattice.
