[1993]

(a) $KF$

(b) $NaF$

(c) $CsF$

(d) $RbF$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 14.(b)

Solution:

(b) For compounds containing ions of same charge, lattice energy increases as the size the ions decrease. Thus, $NaF$ has highest lattice energy. The size of cation is in the order $Na^{+}<$ $K^{+}<Rb^{+}<Cs^{+}$.
