Endo and exothermic reactions?




What is enthalpy of lattice formation?




What is the enthalpy lattice Opposite lattice formation
dissociation?

(non-metals)

,what happens to the energy change
when ionic compound formed?


What is the first ionisation energy?


Label the steps in graph above?




What are 2 positive enthalpy changes?
(2)




Name 2 negative enthalpy changes?




What happens to the lattice enthalpies
as decrease ionic radius?

What happens to the lattice enthalpies
as charge increases

, What’s difference between second
and first ionisation energy




Requires more energy to remove an electron from a cation than
from a gaseous atom
- Removal of an electron means they are closer to the
nucleus and so stronger forces of attraction
What is the difference between 1st and
2nd electron affinity of oxygen
