For two ionic solids, `CaO` and `KI`, which of the following statements is false?

Options

A. Lattice energy of CaO is much larger than that of Kl
B. Kl is soluble in benzene
C. Kl has lower melting point
D. CaO has higher melting point

Answer

B

Explanation

KI is ionic compound, so it is not soluble in non-polar solvent (i.e. dipole moment (`mu`) for benzene =0)
