The magnitude of lattice energy of a solid increases ifA. size of ions is smallB. charges of ions are smallC. ions are neutralD. None of the above

Answer» (a) According to Born-Lande equation,
`U=(Z^(+)Z^(-)e^(2) N_(A)M)/(r_(node))((1)/(n)-1)`
`:.` Ions should be of small size to have high lattice energy.
