Exam points

  • select atomisation equations and values for elements such as bromine, iodine or calcium
  • identify electron-affinity equations and explain positive second electron affinity
  • recognise lattice energy as exothermic formation of ionic solids from gaseous ions

12.12—Define the terms: i standard enthalpy change of atomisation, ∆atH ii electron affinity iii lattice energy (as the exothermic question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

This question is about oxides of iron.

Iron also forms iron(II) oxide. The data in the table can be used to construct a Born-Haber cycle for iron(II) oxide, FeO.
