The lattice energy of LiF calculated from Born-Lande equation -1000 $\mathrm{kJ\,mol^{-1}}$. Assume that for both LiF and MgO the Madelung constants, interionic distances and Born exponents have the same value. The lattice energy of MgO in $\mathrm{kJ\,mol^{-1}}$ is:
(a)-4000
(b)-2000
(c)2000
(d)4000
