Stability of ionic crystal is mainly affected by -
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Lattice energy is the primary factor that determines the stability of an ionic crystal.
It is the amount of energy released when gaseous cations and anions combine to form one mole of an ionic solid.
A higher lattice energy indicates stronger electrostatic forces of attraction holding the crystal lattice together.
Therefore, the greater the lattice energy released during formation, the more stable the resulting ionic crystal will be.
