Lattice Enthalpy
Bond enthalpies can be used to measure covalent bond strength. Lattice enthalpy
is essentially the ionic bonding equivalent.

Lattice enthalpy (formation)

Lattice enthalpy (dissociation)

Born Haber Cycles

Lattice enthalpy is a combination of multiple energetic changes. We use Born Haber Cycles to describe these
and make predictions about lattice enthalpy.
