Does NaCl have a higher lattice energy than KCl??
Is NaCl more stable??
Acc to fajans' rules, KCl is more ionic?? So now which has higher MP and BP and which is more stable??

anonymous · Answer

Too many abbreviations, what are MP and BP? the lattice energy is the energy associated with the formation of the ionic compound. This is the same as the ionization energy - the energy required to break the ionic bonds. The more energy it takes to break the bond, the strong the bond is.
