Detailed Solution
Larger the charge on cation and anion, larger the polarising power and thus larger the covalent nature and such compounds have larger lattice energy.K+>Mg2+ size Cl−> O2− size +1 +2 charge −1 < 2− charge Thus, MgO is less ionic than KCI thus lattice energy of MgOis larger than that of KCl.Thus, given order is incorrect.
