Born-Haber cycle: Hess's law applied to ionic-solid formation enthalpies

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the solid-state-chemistry subtree

Framework for ionic-solid lattice-energy determination: the Born-Haber cycle (Born & Haber 1919) applies Hess's law to the formation of an ionic solid from its standard-state elements, decomposing ΔH_f into experimentally accessible…
