The two contributions to the cohesive energy of the ionic crystal are : Vander waals attraction between the adjacent ions Zero point oscillations of their equilibrium position. Zero- point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have; it is the energy of its ground state. All quantum mechanical systems undergo fluctuations even in their ground state and have an associated zero-point energy, a consequence of their wave-like interaction.
