NEETChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
Which of the following compounds will have the highest melting point and why?
Options
- AII will have the highest melting point, due to symmetry of para-positions; it fits into the crystal lattice be
- BIII will have the highest melting point, due to symmetry of para-positions; it fits into the crystal lattice b
- CI will have the highest melting point, due to symmetry of para-positions; it fits into the crystal lattice bet
- DI, II and III all will have the same melting point
Correct answer
A. II will have the highest melting point, due to symmetry of para-positions; it fits into the crystal lattice be
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) II will have the highest melting point, due to symmetry of para-positions; it fits into the crystal lattice better than other isomers.
