    Which of the following has lowest boiling point?

    A) \[NaCl\]                              

    B) \[CuCl\]

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

    D)  \[CsCl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: (i) More the covalent character, less is boiling point. (ii) Smaller the size of cation, more is polarising power and more is covalent character. Among \[N{{a}^{+}}\](of,\[NaCl)\], \[C{{u}^{+}}\](of\[CuCl)\] (of\[CuC{{l}_{2}})\] and \[C{{s}^{+}}\](of\[CsCl)\]size of\[C{{u}^{2+}}\]is smallest. \[\therefore \]\[CuC{{l}_{2}}\] has highest covalent character.
