Which equation shows lattice energy for ionic compound?

Correct answer: D. Na˕(g) + Cl-(g) → NaCl(s)

  • A. Na(s) + 1/2 Cl2(g) → NaCl(s)
  • B. Na˕(aq) + Cl-(aq) → NaCl(aq)
  • C. Na(s) + Cl(g) → NaCl(s)
  • D. Na˕(g) + Cl-(g) → NaCl(s)

Explanation

Option D is correct.The equation that shows lattice energy for an ionic compound is: Na ˕ (g) + Cl ⁻ (g) → NaCl(s) This equation shows the formation of the solid ionic compound NaCl from the gaseous ions Na ˕ and Cl ⁻. The lattice energy is the energy required to convert the gaseous ions into the solid ionic compound.
