Lattice enthalpy represents

Strength of ionic bonds in an ionic compound

Enthalpy of lattice formation definition

Enthalpy change when 1 mole ionic compound forms from gaseous ions

Enthalpy of lattice dissociation definition

Enthalpy change to separate 1 mole ionic compound into gaseous ions

High lattice enthalpy indicates

Strong ionic bonding with small, highly charged ions

Effect of smaller ionic radius on lattice enthalpy

Increases it - closer packing increases attraction

Effect of higher ionic charge on lattice enthalpy

Increases it - stronger electrostatic attraction

Perfect ionic model assumption about bonding

Entirely ionic bonding; perfect spherical ions

Theoretical lattice enthalpy is calculated from

Perfect ionic model

Experimental lattice enthalpy is obtained from

Born-Haber cycle

Evidence for covalent character in ionic compound

Experimental lattice enthalpy > theoretical
