Born-Lande Equation: Sample Calculation

The video tutorial explains the calculation of the Born exponent and Madeline constant, essential for determining lattice energy using the Born Lande equation. It covers the deviations from ideal lattice energy and introduces the Born Lande equation, which accounts for both attractive and repulsive forces. A detailed calculation example using rubidium bromide is provided, demonstrating the application of the equation. The video concludes with an introduction to the Bourne Meyer equation and a brief mention of the kapuscinski approximation for cases where the lattice type is unknown.
