According to Born-Haber's cycle, the enthalpy of the formation of ionic compounds can be determined. The formation of NaCl involves the following steps :

(I) \(Na(s)\xrightarrow[Energy \ of \ sublimation]{S} \ Na(g)\)     

(II) \(Na(g)\xrightarrow[Ionisation \ potential]{I} \ Na^{+}(g) \ + \ e^{-}\)

(III) \(Cl_{2}(g)\xrightarrow[Bond \ dissociation \ energy]{D} \ 2Cl(g)\)

(IV) \(Cl(g) \ + e^{-}\xrightarrow[Electron \ affinity \ energy]{E} \ Cl^{-}(g)\)

 (V) \(Cl^{-}(g) \ + Na^{+}(g)\xrightarrow[Lattice \ energy \ energy]{U} \ NaCl(s)\)

The enthalpy of formation of NaCl will be :

1. $∆{\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{S}+\mathrm{I}-\frac{\mathrm{D}}{2}-\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{U}$

2. $∆{\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{S}+\mathrm{I}+\frac{\mathrm{D}}{2}-\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{U}$

3. $∆{\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{f}}=-\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{D}+\frac{E}{2}+\mathrm{U}$

4. $∆{\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{f}}=-\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{D}-\frac{E}{2}-\mathrm{U}$
