Q. Which of the following compounds will have highest melting point?

Question

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

Compound II is most symmetrical because it has both - $CH_{3}$ groups and Cl atoms para to each other. therefore, it fits in the crystal lattice better than the other two isomers and hence it has high melting point.
