Question

Which of the following ionic compounds has the highest boiling point?

A.

MgC1₂

B.

CaC1₂

C.

NaC1

D.

LiC1

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (B) CaCl₂

Information Booster:
  • CaCl₂ (Calcium chloride) has the highest boiling point among the given ionic compounds because:
    • CaCl₂ has stronger ionic bonds than MgCl₂ due to the higher charge density of the calcium ion (Ca²⁺), which results in stronger electrostatic attractions between the ions.
    • MgCl₂ has slightly weaker ionic bonds compared to CaCl₂ because Ca²⁺ has a greater charge than Mg²⁺.
Boiling Point Order:
  • CaCl₂ > MgCl₂ > NaCl > LiCl
