Question- 1) What is the magnitude of the energy of a bond formed between a potassium (K+) cation and an iodide (I-) anion? The ionic radii of K+ and I-?, are 152 pm and 206 pm, respectively. Assume the Born exponent n is 10. Please write your answer in joules.
2) Calculate the magnitude of the cohesive energy of potassium iodide (KI). The ionic radii of K+ and I-?, are 152pm and 206 pm, respectively. Assume the Born exponent n is 10. Assume a Madelung constant of 1.7. Please write your answer in kJ/mol.
Please carry out what you can and illustrate your work so I can follow. Thanks
