As we learnt in

Ionic Radii -

The ionic radius is the distance between the nucleus of an ion and the point where the nucleus exerts its influence on the electron cloud.

r_{cation}+r_{anoin}=r_{ionic \:\:radii}

 

 

Energy released while forming a lattice is directly proportional to the charges of the ions and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

charge on the ion only

Option 2)

size of the ion only
