HEY MATE!!! ❤❤HERE'S UR ANSWER!!! ❤❤
As the stability of a compound depends upon the its lattice energy therefore higher is the lattice energy, higher will be its melting point. ( where lattice energy is the amount of heat energy required to break one mole of lattice )
Therefore the trend of stability is as follow:
MgF2 > MgCl2 > MgBr2 > MgI2
As we know Higher is the stability, higher will be the melting point therefore, the melting point also follows the same trend.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!!! ❤❤❤
