Question

the para isomer of dichlorobenzene has higher melting point than ortho and meta isomers why​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Generally, the melting point of para isomer is quite higher than that of ortho or meta isomers. This is due to the fact that it has a symmetrical structure and therefore, its molecules can easily pack closely in the crystal lattice. ... Generally, para isomers are highly soluble in organic solvents than ortho.
