    • Lattice enthalpy is the enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mol of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
    • lattice enthalpy is from gaseous ions to ionic lattice compound
    • lattice enthaply is exothermic so enthalpy change is negative and arrow points down on the born-haber cycle
    • LE cannot be measured directly and so has to be calculated indirectly from known energy changes in an energy cycle
    • the enthalpy change of formation is exothermic
    • lattice enthalpy is exothermic
    • when its exothermic, enthalpy change is negative and the arrow on cycle points down
