What lattice enthalpy means

What lattice enthalpy means

Lattice enthalpy describes the energy change when an ionic lattice forms from gaseous ions or when it is separated back into gaseous ions. Stronger electrostatic attraction gives a larger magnitude of lattice enthalpy and usually a higher melting point.
