Question

The charges and sizes of the ions in an ionic compound affect the strength of the electrostatic interaction between the ions and thus the strength of the lattice energy of the ionic compound. Arrange the compounds according to the magnitudes of their lattice energies based on the relative ion charges and sizes.

The charges and sizes of the ions in an ionic compound affect the strength of the electrostatic interaction between the ions and
