How would the magnitude of the lattice energy calculated using the Born-Haber cycle change if the charges on the cation and anion were +2 and -2, respectively, rather than +1 and -1?

(a) Lattice energy would increase.


(b) Lattice energy would decrease.


(c) Whether lattice energy would increase or decrease depends on the relative magnitudes of IE2 of the cation and EA2 of the anion.
