according to arihant Stament 1 is false[3][3][3][3][3]
Assertion & reason
statement1:lattice energy of AlCl3 is more than NaCl
statement2:AlCl3 is less ionic than NaCl
both statements are correct but second statement is not the correct explanation of first
as Al+3 & Na+ are isoelectronic size of Al+3 will be less than Na+ so AlCl3 must have higher LE than NaCl
i too think both statements are correct but second statement is not the correct explanation of first
