Question

In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions), which affects lattice energy (a measure of the attractive force holding those ions together) Based on ion sizes, rank these compounds of their expected lattice energy Greatest Lattice energyl (strongest bonds) Note Many sources define lattice energies as negative values Please rank by magnitude and ignore the sign. Lattice energyl absolute value of the lattice energy. Least |Lattice energyl (weakest bonds) RbCI RbF Rb RDBr
