Arrange the bonds in order of increasing ionic character in the molecules: $LiF$,$K_{2}O$,$N_{2}$,$SO_{2}$ and $ClF_{3}$

The main reaction during electrovalent bond formation is

Describe the steps involved in the formation of an ionic bond and the associated energy changes.

If the enthalpy of sublimation of $Li$ is $155 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, enthalpy of dissociation of $F_2$ is $150 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, ionization enthalpy of $Li$ is $520 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, electron gain enthalpy of $F$ is $-313 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, and standard enthalpy of formation of $LiF$ is $-594 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, then the magnitude of the lattice enthalpy of $LiF$ is . . . . . . $kJ \ mol^{-1}$ (nearest integer).

Which of the following is an electrovalent linkage?

$AB$ is an ionic solid. The ionic radii of $A^{+}$ and $B^{-}$ are respectively $r_c$ and $r_a$. Lattice energy of $AB$ is proportional to:
