If U is the lattice energy of NaCl , the approximate lattice energy of CaO is:
ReportQuestion
According to the coulomb's law:
F=Kq1q2∕r
Where q1 and q2 are charges on particles and r is the distance between them.
Since interionic distances in CaO and NaCl are comparable, (bigger cation has more modest anion as well as the other way around).
So, r is practically similar.
In this manner, lattice energy relies just upon charge.
Since the charge on Na+ and Cl- particles is unity and that on Ca2+ and O2- is 2 each, in this manner the lattice energy of is CaO is 4 times the lattice energy of NaCl, i.e., 4U.
Final answer : Hence,the correct answer will be option D.4U.
