Briefly explain ionic size and lattice enthalpy
Accepted Answer
Ionic size is the radius of an ion, which is determined by the number of electrons and protons in the ion. Lattice enthalpy is the energy required to separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions. Lattice enthalpy is affected by the ionic size, ionic charge, and the arrangement of ions in the crystal lattice.
