    Lowest melting point chloride is:

    A) \[LiCl\]                 

    B) \[NaCl\]

    C)  \[KCl\]                                

    D)  \[CsCl\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Alkali metal halides have high melting point. The melting points of alkali metal chloride decreases from \[NaCl\] to\[CsCl\]. (except\[Li)\]. \[\underset{833\,\,K}{\mathop{LiCl}}\,\]              \[\underset{1081\,\,K}{\mathop{NaCl}}\,\]                \[\underset{1043\,\,K}{\mathop{KCl}}\,\]            \[\underset{990\,\,K}{\mathop{RbCl}}\,\]                \[\underset{918\,\,K}{\mathop{CsCl}}\,\] So, \[NaCl\] has highest melting point and \[CsCl\] has lowest melting point.
