Which one is the highest melting halide ?A. NaClB. LiClC. LiBrD. NaI

Answer» Correct Answer - A
LiCl and LiBr are covalent and hence their melting points are low. Amongest NaCl and Nal, NaCl has higher ionic character (becaue `Cl^(-)` is smaller than `I^(-)` ion) and hence has higher lattice energy than naI. Therefore NaCl has the highest m.p.
