p-Dichlorobenzene has higher melting point than those of o- and m -isomers Discuss.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

p-Dischlorobenzene has higher m.p and solubility than those of o-and m-isomers because p-isoner is more symmetrical and hence its molecular forces of attraction are stronger and hence the prisomer melts at. a higher tentperature and. has comparatively higher solubility.
