What Wikipedia says

In chemistry, the lattice energy is the energy change (released) upon formation of one mole of a crystalline compound from its infinitely separated constituents, which are assumed to initially be in the gaseous state at 0 K (−273.15 °C). It is a measure of the cohesive forces that bind crystalline solids.
