The CORRECT order of lattice energy is/are :-

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C
Solution:

(A) BeO > BeF₂ – O²⁻ has higher charge than F⁻ → stronger lattice energy.

(B) AlF₃ < NaF – Al³⁺ charge is higher → AlF₃ has higher lattice energy.

(C) NaF > KF – Na⁺ smaller than K⁺ → stronger attraction → higher lattice energy.

(D) MgF₂ < CaF₂ – Mg²⁺ smaller → lattice energy is higher than CaF₂.
