p-dichlorobenzcnc has higher melting point than ortho and meta dichloro benzene. Why?

Answer»

The melting point of p-dichloro benzene is higher than the melting point of the corresponding ortho and mcta isomers. The higher melting which leads to more close packing of its molcules in the crystal lattice and consequently strong intermolecular attractive forces which requires more energy for melting. 

p-dichlorobenzene > o-dichlorobenzene > mdichlorobenzene
