The correct order of melting point is :
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
The melting points of group 2 elements are:
Beryllium has an exceptionally high melting point due to its small atomic size and strong metallic bonding. The order is:
- Be: 1560 K (highest due to small size and strong metallic bonding)
- Ca: 1124 K
- Sr: 1062 K
- Mg: 924 K (lowest among these four)
Beryllium has an exceptionally high melting point due to its small atomic size and strong metallic bonding. The order is:
