The lattice energy of a salt is related to the energy required to separate the ions. for which of the following pairs of ions is the energy that is required to separate the ions largest? (assume that the distance between the ions in each pair is equal to the sum of the ionic radii.)

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
