Title: Lattice energy
Post by: faye on July 30, 2004, 03:14:40 PM

How do you find the lattice energy of a compound? Is there some list that you are to look at? :Confuzzled:

For the most part an experimentally determined list is more favorable, in some cases one can find it indirectly through hess' law and other means.
