Why does Cs2SO4 have more lattice energy that Na2SO4?
My chemistry teacher told us that $\ce{NaF}$ has a higher lattice energy than $\ce{CsF}$. He explained it by telling lattice energy is inversely proportional to size of ions added. He then mentioned ...

Do superoxide salts of heavier alkali metals contradict the principle that lattice energy depends inversely on cation-anion distance?
I have a very basic understanding of quantitative lattice energy calculations: I only know that the lattice energy is directly proportional to the product of charges on the ions and inversely ...
