<p><font face="serif">I want to reiterate that I will not be asking
any questions related to the Born-Haber cycle or lattice
energy. This is a topic that is used in Gen Chem texts to help
demonstrate why bonding occurs in ionic compounds - and if we
had more time I would cover it in detail. It is sufficient for
you to know that when you break bonds it requires energy and
that when you make bonds you regain energy. That being said, I
do expect you to know how to do problems related to BOND
ENTHALPIES. <br>
