The stability of the following alkali metal chlorides follows the order:

A

`LiCl gt KCl gt NaCl gt Cs Cl`

B

`CsCl gt KCl gt NaCl gt LiCl`

C

`NaCl gt KCl gt LiCl gt CsCl`

D

`KCl gt CsCl gt NaCl gt LiCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The stability of a compound depends upon its enthalpy of formation , `Delta H_(f)^(@)` . Evidently more negative the value of `DeltaH_(f)^(@)` , more stable is the compound. The values given in parentheses are in kJ `mol^(-1)`.
