Which of the following compounds has the lowest melting point?

  1. CaCl2
  2. CaBr2
  3. CaI2
  4. CaF2

Answer

(3) CaI2

Solution

All four are halides of the same cation Ca2+; only the size of the anion changes:

F- < Cl- < Br- < I- (size)

A larger anion is more easily polarised by Ca2+ (Fajans' rule), the covalent character increases and the lattice energy decreases in the order:

CaF2 < CaCl2 < CaBr2 < CaI2 (covalent character)

Melting point: CaF2 > CaCl2 > CaBr2 > CaI2

CaI2, the most covalent of the four, has the lowest melting point.
