A
Sodium chloride
B
Calcium chloride
C
Potassium chloride
✓
Carbon tetrachloride
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Carbon tetrachloride
(d) Carbon tetrachloride Explanation : Carbon tetrachloride is a molecular compound consisting of carbon and chlorine atoms. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to the other options listed, which are ionic compounds. Sodium chloride $( NaCl )$, potassium chloride $( KCl )$, and calcium chloride $\left( CaCl _2\right)$ are all ionic compounds composed of metal cations and nonmetal anions. Ionic compounds generally have much higher melting and boiling points compared to molecular compounds like carbon tetrachloride.
