    Which of the following has highest boiling point?

    A)  \[NaCl\]             

    B)         \[CaC{{l}_{2}}\]               

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

    D)         \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[NaCl\] has highest boiling point as it is the most ionic among these. According to Fajans rule, greater the charge on cation, greater will be its polarizing power. Hence, \[A{{l}^{3+}}\] polarise \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions to much extent and consequently, it is partly covalent while\[NaCl\]is much ionic.
