Given information
Lattice energies of the alkaline earth metals has been given in a table as follows:
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
is a common anion in alkaline earth metal oxides. It is known that the size of the metal ions increases as one moves down the corresponding group. Since the square of the distance between the particles is inversely proportional to the force of attraction between those two particles, therefore, the lattice energy decreases down the group due to an increase in the atomic size of the metal ions.
