Lattice energy help?

Lattice energy and the strength of the bond?

  • I'm working on doing questions for a chem lab but...one has me stumped. I was hoping there would be a person out there somewhere that would help me out. :o) Thanks! 1. What is the relationship between the amount of Lattice energy realeased and the strength of the bond? Thanks Again!

  • Answer:

    The force of attraction between oppositely charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the charges on the two objects (q1 and q2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects (r2). The strength of the bond between the ions of opposite charge in an ionic compound therefore depends on the charges on the ions and the distance between the centers of the ions when they pack to form a crystal.. http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch7/lattice.html
