What Born-Haber cycles calculate

Lattice enthalpies (indirectly)

Definition of ΔfH°ΔfH°

Enthalpy change forming 1 mole ionic compound from elements in standard states

Definition of ΔatH°ΔatH°

Enthalpy change forming 1 mole gaseous atoms from element in standard state

Definition of ΔieH°ΔieH°

Enthalpy change removing electrons from 1 mole gaseous atoms to form ions

Definition of ΔeaH°ΔeaH°

Enthalpy change adding electrons to 1 mole gaseous atoms to form anions

Definition of ΔlattH°ΔlattH°

Enthalpy change forming 1 mole ionic compound from gaseous ions

Why calculate lattice enthalpy indirectly

Cannot be measured directly

Extra ionisation for Group 2 elements

Second ionisation energy

Why Cl steps doubled in MgCl2MgCl₂ cycle

Two moles Cl−Cl⁻ needed per mole Mg2+Mg²⁺
