Born-Harber cycle
Lattice enthlapy
Lattice enthalpy can be defined in 2 ways , these are lattice enthalpy of formation and lattice enthalpy of disassociation.
-
Enthalpy of formation
The lattice enthalpy of formation is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is produced from its elements under its standard state.
the enthalpy of formation of carbon dioxide would require carbon and oxygen atoms all in their gaseous phase and under their standard states , meaning diatomic for oxygen.
A lot of steps occur within the process of the lattice of formation , this is known as the born-harber cycle.
The enthalpy of formation is the sum of all of the formations together of all the endothermic reactions + the exothermic reactions.
Ionisation energy
Ionisation energy is defined as the energy change when one mole of gaseous atom loses mole of electrons to form one mole of gaseous ions under standard conditions.
Enthalpy of atomisation
The enthalpy of atomisation is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole gaseous atoms is formed from the elements in its standard states.
Bond enthlapy
Bond enthalpy is defined as the average enthalpy change when one formation of a ole of identical bonds in the gas phase.
exam warning
with examples like methane , the average bond enthalpy is not always constant. this is as you remove a hydrogen , the bonding pairs are more attracted towards the carbon and so the bond becomes much more stronger. this means that the carbon-hydrogen bond increases.
Sometimes , the experimental value and theoretical values are different. this is because the experimental value has been found through experiments whilst the theoretical value which implies perfect conditions. Theoretical bond enthalpies are used in theoretical whilst average bond enthlapies are used in

Electron Affinity
Electron affinity is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of an electron is added to one mole of gaseous atom to form one mole of gaseous ions.
Born-harber cycles
Born-Harber cycles are used to calculate some of of the types of bond enthlapies form experimental data
-
the harber process can be broken down into a few steps. the pure element is turned into a gaseous atoms , then the ions are formed via electron affinity and ionisation , then the gaseous ions condense into a crystal , then this is used to generate a harberprocess.

-
Polarisation occurs when positive ions are said to polarize negative ions. this causes a distortion in the charge cloud on one side of the ion.
-
If lattice enthalpy is calculated , then it is very different from the experimental value and this is down to the large degree of covenant character present.
If the theoretical value is close to the experimental value , then it means that there is very little covalent character.
-
Entropy
Entropy
enthalpy change as defined as heat change under constant pressure is not enough to determine whether a reaction has occured.
When sodium chloride dissolves , the reaction is endothermic (meaning bond making) although energy is required
Solubility is the measurement of disorder. substances are always more stable when they have more disorder present.

-
An example is the reason why your phone cable gets tangled in your pocket and why sodium chloride dissolves in water , even though as its entropy increases.

Conditions of a reaction
A reaction is more likely to happen if the reaction increase the moles of a substance, gas is produced and the solid is consumed , the reaction is exothermic.
if a reaction is exothermic ,then we are increasing the temperature and this increases the disorder.
if a solid is consumed to produce gas , you are going from one state of matter which has a low state of entropy to a higher state of matter which has a higher state of entropy
-
entropy calculations
Standard entropies were developed over time and contain the measurement of hundreds of molecules and elements which have been measured under standard pressure and standard temperature
