Which step(s) is/are endothermic in the Born–Haber cycle for the formation of LiCl\text{LiCl}? (1) 12Cl2(g)→Cl(g)\frac{1}{2}\text{Cl}_2(\text{g})\rightarrow\text{Cl}(\text{g}) and Li(s)→Li(g)\text{Li}(\text{s})\rightarrow\text{Li}(\text{g}) (2) Cl(g)+e−→Cl−(g)\text{Cl}(\text{g})+\text{e}^-\rightarrow\text{Cl}^-(\text{g}) and Li(g)→Li+(g)+e−\text{Li}(\text{g})\rightarrow\text{Li}^+(\text{g})+\text{e}^- (3) Li+(g)+Cl−(g)→LiCl(s)\text{Li}^+(\text{g})+\text{Cl}^-(\text{g})\rightarrow\text{LiCl}(\text{s}) (4) 12Cl2(g)→Cl(g)\frac{1}{2}\text{Cl}_2(\text{g})\rightarrow\text{Cl}(\text{g}) and Cl(g)+e−→Cl−(g)\text{Cl}(\text{g})+\text{e}^-\rightarrow\text{Cl}^-(\text{g})
