A) \[LiCl>NaCl>KCl>RbCl>CsCl\]
B) \[CsCl>NaCl>KCl>RbCl>LiCl\]
C) \[LiCl>CsCl>NaCl>KCl>RbCl\]
D) \[NaCl>LiCl>KCl>RbCl>CsCl\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Key Idea: Lattice energy depends on the size of ion and it decreases with increase in size. \[\because \] The size of alkali metals increases from Li to Cs. \[\therefore \] Lattice energy of alkali metal halides is as follows: \[LiCl>NaCl>KCl>RbCl>CsCl\]
