The ortho and para isomers formed by electrophilic substitution of arenes can be easily separated due to the large difference in their ________(a) densities(b) solubilities(c) melting points(d) boiling pointsThis question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Query is from Preparation of Haloarenes in portion Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (c) melting points

To elaborate: The solid form of ortho isomer MELTS WAY earlier than the para isomer as the latter has a HIGHER melting POINT due to its symmetric GEOMETRY.
