AlN has highest melting point among given.

Explanation:

As per ionic model, ionic compounds are held together by electrostatic force. The ionic compound having strong electrostatic force will have high melting point.

Electrostatic force is proportional to charge and size of constituent ions.

In case of MgO

Charge on Mg = +2

Charge on O = -2

In case of LiF

Charge on Li = +1

Charge on F = -1

In case of AlN

Charge on Al = +3

Charge on N = -3

In case of RbF

Charge on Rb = +1

Charge on F = -1

In case of CaS

Charge on Ca = +2

Charge on S = -2

As magnitude of electrostatic force is highest in AlN, therefor, it has highest melting point.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
