Predict whether the lattice energy of magnesium oxide, MgO, is more or less exothermic than the lattice energy of magnesium sulfide, MgS. Justify your answer in terms of the sizes and the charges of the ions involved.

To start with, we can clearly see that the difference between MgO and MgS is the anions, we have O(2-) and S(2-). As we know (from looking at the periodic table) O(2-) has a smaller ionic radius, and ther...
