Which of the following compounds has the lowest melting point ?
Answer»
`CaF_(2)` `CaCl_(2)` `CaBr_(2)` `CaI_(2)`
Solution :As the size of the halogen increases from F to I , covalent CHARACTER increases from `CaF_(2)` to `CaI_(2)` and MELTINGPOINT decreases . So `CaI_(2)` has the LOWEST melting point .
