How would you expect the melting point of CCI, to compare to that of NaCl? It should be lower because NaCl forms an extended ionic crystal lattice, whereas C4 is a covalently-bonded small molecule. It should be similar since they are both ionic solids. It should be higher because the bonds are stronger due to the higher charge on C (+4). It should be higher because CCI, is larger than NaCl. It is not possible to say anything about their melting points without more information.

Question
How would you expect the melting point of CCI4 to compare to that of NaCI?
It should be lower because NaCl forms an extended ionic crystal lattice, whereas
CCI, is a covalently-bonded small molecule.
It should be similar since they are both ionic solids.
It should be higher because the bonds are stronger due to the higher charge on
C (+4).
It should be higher because CCI, is larger than NaCl.
It is not possible to say anything about their melting points without more
information.
