Which statement is true about crystal lattice energy?
it increases as the size of the ions increases.
it increases as the charge on the ions decreases.
it is the energy that ions absorb when they form a crystal.
it is a measure of the strength of the bonds between ions.

The answer is:

It is a measure of the strength of the bonds between ions.

Lattice energy is an estimate of the strength of the bonds formed by ionic compounds.

The first two choices are wrong because it is actually the opposite.

As for the other third option, it is wrong because lattice energy is the energy RELEASED not absorbed.

c because the news are a source of information of things that happen on the daily and shows evidence about that particular topic

im srry but ur wrong the answer is d a smooth rock, some red dirt, and an empty bird's nest.
