Question

The melting point of $M g C l_{2}$ is greater than that of $B a C l_{2}$ . Give reason?

Open in App

Solution

The melting point of ${M g C l}_{2}$ is greater than ${B a C l}_{2}$ is because as we go down the group atomic size increases and its easy to break bonds between bond $C l$ than in between $M g$ and $C l$ .
