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.
