Charge product for lattice comparison

An ionic-lattice comparison in a transition-metal investigation uses ions with charges \(1+\) and \(2-\). Calculate the charge product magnitude used for attraction comparison. Use the labelled diagram or spectrum before giving the answer. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
