since ca2+ has a larger atomic radii compared to Mg2+ (and the same for F and CL2), the electrons are dispersed over a wider surface area and so have a lesser strength than that of magnesium. Hence, with a smaller atomic radii, Magnesium has stronger attractive forces with require more energy to be broken and therefore making it more exothermic than calcium.

∙ 10y agothe smaller the atom is the higher the lattice energy is. so because the atomic radius of fluorine is smaller than chlorine MgF2 has a higher lattice energy than MgCl2

What is the balanced chemical equation for magnesium chloride and sodium fluoride solution?
MgCl2(soln) + 2NaF(soln) ------> MgF2(s) + 2NaCl(aq)
Which compound have lattice structure?
Many compounds have lattice structures. A lattice is just a long repeated structure. This is evident in salts, such as NaCl, but can be present many other compounds. Other examples are Diamond, SiO2 (quartz), and ice.
Is NCI3 and MgF2 a ionic compound?
NCl3 is not ionic but MgF2 is ionic
How many GRAMS of magnesium fluoride are present in 4.78 moles of this compound?
The formula unit for magnesium fluoride is MgF2. From the periodic table, add the atomic weight of 1 magnesium atom and 2 fluorine atoms to get to get 62.3018. This means that 1 mole of MgF2 is 62.3018g of MgF2. Now, to find out the mass of 4.78 mol MgF2 X the g/mol so that you will cancel the moles, and keep the grams. 4.78 mol MgF2 X 62.3018g MgF2/1mol MgF2 = 297g MgF2 *The answer 297 is in keeping with significant figures. When you multiply or divide, the answer can have no more than the fewest significant figures in the calculation, which was 4.78, and which has only three significant figures.
Is MgF2 acidic?
No. 'tis a basic salt.
What is the empirical formula of magnesium and fluorine?
MgF2
Which has a higher melting point LiF or MgF2?
MgF2 is higher that LiF do to the greater bond strength in MgF2. This greater strength is indicated by the charge of Mg (+3) which is higher than the +2 charge of Li. Also the MgF2 is larger in mass.
