    Hi,
    KF. Small ions will result in high density crystal packing, which in turn will take the higher energy and temperature to break up (melt). Conversely, KI will have the lowest, since I- is a very large ion. In other words, salts made of ions lower in the periodic table will be easier to melt than salts made of ions higher in the periodic table.
