    Which of the following has lowest boiling point?              

    A)  \[NaCl\]                             

    B)  \[CuCl\]

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

    D)  \[CsSl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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