the compound with the smaller lattice energy is potassium sulphide here the size of the molecule play a important role
The quantity of energy released by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions is known as lattice energy (L.E). The ion's size and charge affect the lattice energy.
lattice energy is inversely proportional to size of ion and directly proportional to charge of the ion. They are each charged equally that is plus two and minus two However, because the Sulphur is larger in size and the oxygen is lesser in this case, The lattice energy of potassium oxide is larger the lattice energy of potassium sulphide is smaller.
