The energy required to separate the ions in a CsF crystal lattice into individual Cs^+1 (g) and F^-1 (g) ions is known as the lattice energy of CsF(s). As shown in the table below, the lattice energy of CsF(s) is smaller than the lattice energy of a similar compound, KF(s). Which of the following best explains why the lattice energy of CsF is smaller than the lattice energy of KF?
CsF = 759
KF = 829
A.) Cs^+ contains more core electrons than K4+, so the valence electrons in Cs^+ are more shielded from the nucleus than the valence electrons in K+.
B.) Cs^+ has a larger ionic radius than K^+, so the distance between cation and anion is greater in CsF than in KF.
C.) Cesium and fluorine have a greater electronegativity difference than potassium and fluorine, so the Cs-F bond is more polar than the K-F bond.
D.) Cesium has a smaller first ionization energy than potassium, so less energy is required to form the Cs^+ ion than to form the K^+ ion.

The two naturally occurring isotopes of chlorine are 35cl (34.969 amu, 75.77%) and 37cl (36.966 amu, 24.23%). the two naturally occurring isotopes of bromine are 79br (78.918 rm amu, 50.69%) and 81br (80.916 amu, 49.31%). chlorine and bromine combine to form bromine monochloride, brcl. 1. how many peaks will be present in a mass spectrum for brcl? the four combinations of molecule possible given these four isotopes are: 81br37cl, 81br35cl, 79br37cl, and 79br35cl. 2. what are the masses of the four different brcl molecules? express the masses using six significant figures, in decreasing numeric order (highest to lowest), separated by commas.
