The melting point of `RbBr` is `682^(@)C`, while that of `NaF` is `988^(@)C` . The principla reason that melting point of `NaF` is much higher than that of `RbBr` is that `:`
A. the two crystal are not isomorphous
B. the molar mass of `NaF` is smaller thean that of `RbBr`
C. the internuclear distance `r_(c)+r_(a)` is greater for `RbBr` than for `NaF`.
D. the bond in `RbBr` has more covalent character than the bond in `NaF`.

D. the bond in `RbBr` has more covalent character than the bond in `NaF`.
Correct Answer – c
This leads to stronger coulombic forces of attractions in `NaF`.
