Question
Select the arrangement in which these ionic substances are arranged from higher to
lower potential energy:
O (higher) NaCI(s) > KBr(s) > LiF(s) (lower)
O (higher) LiF(s) > NaCl(s) > KBr(s) (lower)
O (higher) KBr(s) > NaCl(s) > LiF(s) (lower)
O (higher) KBr(s) > LiF(s) > NaCI(s) (lower)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Lattice energy is a type of potential energy. 

Lattice energy  ∝ z+z-    -----(1)

Lattice energy ∝ 1/r    -----(2)

where  z+ is charge on cation, z- is charge on anion, r is internuclear distance
