Which of the following has the lowest melting point?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e Tin.

  • The low value for tin’s melting point compared with lead is presumably due to tin forming a distorted 12-co-ordinated structure rather than a pure one.
  • Tin has an unusually low melting point of 231.85°C.
