The paper develops and tests equation (10) for the lattice energy of ionic
compounds.The JCE Online version gives the whole spreadsheet for 54
compounds. It contains the calculated values from eq10 and compares them
with values from the Kapustinskii equation. Included on the same
spreadsheet is the test of the more complex equation (13) with four
constants. This, not surprisingly, gives better estimates of the Lattice
Energies.
A second spreadsheet illustrates another modeling exercise using eqs 11
and 14 to give physically reasonable estimates of an "average"
thermochemical radius for the polarisable hydride in nine Group I and II
salt like hydrides.
