    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 polarizing power and more is covalent character,      Among \[N{{a}^{+}}(of\,NaCl),C{{u}^{+}}(of\,CuCl),\]\[C{{u}^{2+}}(of\,CuC{{l}_{2}})\]and \[C{{s}^{+}}(of\,CsCl)\,size\,of\,C{{u}^{2+}}\]is smallest. \[\therefore \]\[\text{CuC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\] has highest covalent character.
