In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions), which affects lattice energy (a measure of the attractive force holding those ions together). based on ion sizes, rank these compounds of their expected lattice energy..
note: many sources define lattice energies as negative values. rank by magnitude and ignore the sign. |lattice energy| = absolute value of the lattice energy.
a. rbcl ,b. rbbr ,c. rbl ,d. rbf

first one is the correct answer

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
