Define lattice enthalpy

Enthalpy change when 1 mol ionic compound forms from gaseous ions

Sign of lattice enthalpy

Always negative (exothermic)

Purpose of Born-Haber cycle

Calculate lattice enthalpy indirectly using Hess's Law

Define ΔfH\Delta_f H^\circ

Enthalpy change when 1 mol compound forms from elements

Define ΔatH\Delta_{at} H^\circ

Enthalpy change forming 1 mol gaseous atoms from element

Sign of atomization enthalpy

Always positive (endothermic)

Define first ionization energy

Remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mol gaseous atoms

Define first electron affinity

Add 1 electron to each atom in 1 mol gaseous atoms

Sign of first electron affinity

Negative (exothermic)

Sign of second electron affinity

Positive (endothermic) - electron added to negative ion
