The p-isomer of dichlorobenzene has higher melting point than O-and M-isomer. Why ?

A

it has symmetrical structure

B

it fits better in crystallattice

C

it results in stronger intermolecular forces of attraction

D

all options are correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
due to more symmetrical structure of p-isomer of dichloro benzene, it fits better into crystal lattice hence solid
