Lattice energy as a factor that helps determine which charge the atoms take on?
I do not quite understand the following line of reasoning:
Why does Na not form $\ce{Na^{2+}}$ ions? To obtain $\ce{Na^{2+}}$ ions, the first and second ionization energy must be applied: 496 + 4563 ...

Need to normalize lattice enthalpy by no. of nearest-neighbor (NN) interactions to equate to NN interaction strength?
I've seen electrostatic interaction energy (from $E\sim \frac{q_1 q_2}{r}$) used to explain differences in lattice enthalpies between different crystalline solids. For example, I've seen it explained ...
