Which of the following ionic solids has the lowest melting point?A. `KCl`B. `NaCl`C. `LiF`D. `LiCl`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
In spite of high lattice enthalpy, `LiCl(828 kJ mol^(-1))` has low melting point `(610^@C)` due to covalent character. LiF has the highest melting point `(845^@C)` due to maximum `Delta_(Lat tice)H`. Others are `NaCl(788 kJ mol^(-1), 801^@C)` and `KCl(699 kJ mol^(-1), 772^@C)`.
