Identify the CORRECT decreasing order of melting point of cluster of sodium atoms depending on size.

A. Cluster of 10 3 atoms > cluster of 10 4 atoms > Bulk sodium

B. Bulk sodium > cluster of 10 4 atoms > Cluster of 10 3 atoms

C. Cluster of 10 4 atoms > Cluster of 10 3 atoms > Bulk sodium

D. Bulk sodium > cluster of 10 3 atoms > Cluster of 10 4 atoms

Correct Option is (B)

Sodium clusters ( Na n ) of 1000 atoms melts at 288   K while cluster of 10,000 atoms melts at 303   K and bulk sodium melts at 371   K .
