4.60. Lattice energy is defined as the energy released when one mole of crystalline solid is formed by the combination of oppositely charged ions.
(i) As the magnitude of charge on an ion increases there will be greater force of interionic attraction and hence greater will be the value of Lattice energy,
(ii) Smaller the. size of the ions> lower will be the internuclear distance and thus greater will be the Lattice energy,

The three fundamental laws of chemistry are - Law of Definite Proportions, Law of Conservation of Mass, and Law of Multiple Proportions.
The three types of chemical bonds are - ionic, metallic and covalent bonds. When the electrons transfer between the atoms, they form the Ionic bonds by producing charged ions that are attracted to each other. When atoms share electrons, covalent bonds are created. When metal atoms share a sea of delocalized electrons, metallic bonds get created.
