The Formula Explained
Lattice Energy \( = \text{Enthalpy of Formation} - (\text{Sublimation Energy} + \text{Bond Dissociation} + \text{Ionization Energy} + \text{Electron Affinity}) \)
Glossary of Terms
- Enthalpy of Formation: The heat change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements.
- Ionization Energy: The energy required to remove an electron from an atom.
- Electron Affinity: The energy change when an electron is added to a neutral atom.
- Bond Dissociation Energy: The energy required to break a bond in a molecule.
- Sublimation Energy: The energy required to convert a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.
