Given information
The given pair as follows:
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
These two are ionic solids.
Ionic solids are held together by the coulombic interactions that occur between the cations and anions occupying the lattice sites in the crystal.
Since the force of attraction is between the ions this intermolecular force is affected by a charge on the ion and the distance between the ions.
Hence the ones with higher charged ions will have the stronger force of attraction.
