(a) (6 marks) Discuss the differences in the approaches toward calculating ionic lattice energy according to Born-Landé and Kapustinskii. Specify in your answer which variables must be known for each approach. (b) (2 marks) Briefly explain why there is a poor match between experimentally-obtained and calculated (using the Born-Landé equation) values of lattice energy for Agl, but a reasonable match for AgF.
