In ionic bond formation,the lattice energy of ions do what as the magnitude of the ion charges do what and the radii do what
Accepted Answer
In ionic bond formation, as the magnitude of the ion charges increases, the lattice energy also increases. This is because the greater the charge of the ions, the stronger the electrostatic attraction between them, and the more energy is required to separate them. As the radii of the ions increase, the lattice energy decreases. This is because the larger the ions, the further apart they are from each other, and the weaker the electrostatic attraction between them.
