Born Habers Cycle - Practice Questions & MCQ

There are several important concept to understand before the Born-Haber Cycle can be applied to determine the lattice energy of an ionic solid; ionization energy, electron affinity, dissociation energy, sublimation energy, heat of formation, and Hess's Law.

The diagram below is the Born-Haber cycle for the formation of an ionic compound from the reaction of an alkali metal (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) with a gaseous halogen (F₂, Cl₂). The Born-Haber thermochemical cycle is named after the two German physical chemists, Max Born and Fritz Haber, who first used it in 1919.
