22 Lattice energy can be used as a measure of ionic bond strength. Born-Haber cycles can be used to determine experimental values of lattice energies. The table below shows the energy changes that are needed to determine the lattice energy of lithium fluoride, LiF. Energy change (cid:507)H / kJ mol1 Enthalpy change of atomization of lithium First ionization energy of lithium Enthalpy change of atomization of fluorine, F2 First electron affinity of fluorine Enthalpy change of formation of lithium fluoride +159 +520 +79 328 616 (a) Define the term lattice energy.
