Among the three isomeric dichlorobenzenes , which has the highest boiling point and highest melting point ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Boiling point of o- dichlorobenzene is greater thanthe boiling point of m - and p- dichlorobenzenes due to its greater polar nature .
Boiling point order is :
`o- gt m - gt p-` dichlorobenzene
Melting points of P- dichlorobenzene is greater than that of o- and m- dichlorobenzenes . It is due to symmetry of para-isomer of dichlorobenzenes that fits in crystal better as compared to o- and m- isomers
melting points decrease in the order :
` p- gt o- gt m -` dichlorobenzene.
