Based on lattice energy and other considerations which one of the following alkali metal chlorides is expected to have the highest melting point?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Option C (NaCl) is correct because, among the given alkali metal chlorides, NaCl has the smallest cation (Na+) after Li+ and thus experiences stronger electrostatic attraction, leading to a higher melting point.
