Among the following which compound will show the highest lattice energy?

1. KF
2. NaF
3. CsF
4. RbF

Correct answer: NaF

Solution

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge density of ions. NaF has smaller ions compared to KF, RbF, and CsF, leading to stronger electrostatic attraction and higher lattice energy.
