    Which of the following has lowest boiling point?

    A)  \[NaCl\]                             

    B)  \[CuCl\]

    C) \[CuC{{l}_{2}}\]                                

    D)  \[CsCl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    According to Fajans rule, as the size of cation decreases, its polarising power increases. Hence, \[C{{u}^{2+}}\] polarise \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions more than \[C{{u}^{+}}\] Therefore \[CuC{{l}_{2}}\] has more covalent character and hence, its boiling point is less.
