Which of the following compounds have highest melting point?

Which of the following compounds have highest melting point? Which of the following compounds have highest melting point?

Options

  1. AOnly I
  2. BOnly II
  3. CI and II
  4. DII and III

Correct answer

B. Only II

Step-by-step solution

Compound (II) is most symmetrical because it has both CH3\mathrm{CH}_3 groups and Cl atoms pp-to each other. Therefore, it fits in the crystal lattice better than the other two isomers and hence it has highest melting point.
