Lattice Energy
the energy given off when separated gaseous ions—positive and negative—come together to form one mole of a solid ionic compound.

Ka
acid dissociation constant:
which is a measure of how readily an acid dissociates (breaks apart) in a solution, essentially indicating the strength of an acid; a higher Ka value means a stronger acid because more of it dissociates in water.
pKa
negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant,” which is a measure of how readily a molecule donates a proton (hydrogen ion), essentially indicating the strength of an acid; a lower pKa value signifies a stronger acid, meaning it more easily releases its proton.
