Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Question
Wired Faculty App

p-Dichlorobenzenes have higher melting points and lower solubilities than that of their o- and m-isomers. Why?

Answer

p- Dichlorobenzene have higher melting points and lower solubilities than that of their o- and m- isomers because the p-isomers is more symmetrical and therefore fits into a crystal lattice as a result the intermolecular forces.
