MCQ
Which of the following statements is not true for ionic compounds
  • A
    High melting point
  • Least lattice energy
  • C
    Least solubility in organic compounds
  • D
    Soluble in water

Answer

Correct option: B.
Least lattice energy
b
The lattice energies for the alkali metal halides is, therefore, largest for $LiF$ and smallest for $CsI$, as shown in the table below. The ionic bond should also become stronger as the charge on the ions becomes larger.

Therefore, leat lattice energy is not true for the ionic compounds.
