Which of the following has minimum melting point?

Which of the following has minimum melting point?

Options

  1. ACsF\mathrm{CsF}
  2. BHCl\mathrm{HCl}
  3. CHF\mathrm{HF}
  4. DLiF\mathrm{LiF}

Correct answer

B. HCl\mathrm{HCl}

Step-by-step solution

Ionic compounds have high melting point. Greater the ionic character, more is melting point. HCl\mathrm{HCl} has least ionic character because of maximum electronegativity difference between the two constituent elements, ( H\mathrm{H} and Cl\mathrm{Cl} ) among CsF,HCl,HF\mathrm{CsF}, \mathrm{HCl}, \mathrm{HF} and LiF∴HCl\mathrm{LiF}\therefore \mathrm{HCl} has minimum melting point.
