🗑
Increase in Ionic Radius Causes Decrease in Lattice Energy   As the ionic radii increase as we move down the column, the ions cannot get as close to each other and therefore do not release as much energy when the lattice forms(decrease ΔH*lattice)

🗑
Bond Energy   The energy required to break 1 mole of the bond in the gas phase. Always positive(endothermic) because it always takes energy to break a bond... Cl2(g) ---> 2Cl(g) ΔH = 243 kJ.... HCl(g) ---> H(g) + Cl(g) ΔH = 431 kJ
