Consider an ionic compound, MX2, composed of generic metal M and generic, gaseous halogen X.

The enthalpy of formation of MX2 is ΔHf° = –979 kJ/mol. The enthalpy of sublimation of M is ΔHsub = 127 kJ/mol. The first and second ionization energies of M are IE1 = 739 kJ/mol and IE2 = 1396 kJ/mol. The electron affinity of X is ΔHEA = –325 kJ/mol. (Refer to the Hint). The bond energy of X2 is BE = 169 kJ/mol.
