Q. Which of the following has minimum melting point?

A) CsF
B) HCl
C) HF
D) LiF
Explanation

(b)
The covalent compounds have low melting point due to weaker forces of attraction among them as compared to strong forces of attraction in ionic compounds.
$\because$ HCl is covalent compound among CsF, HCl HF and Li
(CsF, HF and LiF are ionic compounds)
$\therefore$ HCl has minimum boiling point.
