    By Pajan's rule covalent character increases with increase in size of the anion. Identify the correct order of melting point of calcium.

    A)  \[Ca{{F}_{2}}<CaC{{l}_{2}}<CaB{{r}_{2}}<Ca{{I}_{2}}\]

    B) \[CaC{{l}_{2}}<Ca{{F}_{2}}<CaB{{r}_{2}}<Ca{{I}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[Ca{{F}_{2}}>CaC{{l}_{2}}>CaB{{r}_{2}}>Ca{{I}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[CaC{{l}_{2}}>Ca{{F}_{2}}>CaB{{r}_{2}}>Ca{{I}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     According to Fajan's rule, Covalent character\[\propto \]size of anion\[\propto \frac{1}{melting\text{ }point}\]          (\[\because \]Attraction decreases) Thus, the order of melting point is \[Ca{{F}_{2}}>CaC{{l}_{2}}>CaB{{r}_{2}}>Ca{{I}_{2}}\]
