I know its because there is some degree of covalency in silver iodide. i don't know why the value you get from the Born-Haber cycle is more exothermic than the theoretical value though. i would have thought if the substance was more ionic, which you presume in the theoretical value, then the energy released would be greater because they are perfect spheres. could someone explain why this is an incorrect umption?
