Question

Which reason explains why an ionic compound is made up of a crystal lattice rather than a group of individual molecules?
The energy of a group of molecules is lower, making it less stable.
The energy of a crystal lattice is lower, making it more stable.
The energy of a crystal lattice is higher, making it less stable.
The energy of a group of molecules is higher, making it more stable.

Answer 1

Answer 2

is it the third one?

Answer 3

hmmm u sure?

Answer 5

so the 2nd one

Answer 6

The strength of ionic compounds is measured with something called lattice energy. It is the energy released when one mole of an ionic compound is formed. This means when the individual ions of the compound come together to form the crystal lattice, they need less energy to stay together, so they release it, and the energy released is called the lattice energy.

Answer 7

yup

Answer 8

so the 3rd one

Answer 9

i mean 2nd one

Answer 10

yes second one
