Answer #1

The lattice energy is inversely proportional to the size of cation and anion & charge on ion (greater the charge higher is the lattice energy)

. Among the given compounds, the anion and charge is same .so, we will se directly by size of cation.

Size of cation Li+ < Na+ < K+ <Rb+

since The lattice energy is inversely proportional to the size of cation ,so the lattice energy will be

LiI > NaI > KI > RbI
