Detailed Solution

Basic strength of the oxides increase in the order Li2O<Na2O<K2O<Rb2O<Cs2O The increase in basic strength is due to the decrease in I.E. and increase in electropositive character. The melting points of the halides decrease in the order NaF > NaCl > NaBr > Nal, as the size of the halide ion increases. The decrease in melting point is due to increase in the covalent character with increase in the size of anion according to Fajan's rule.
