Question

Which of the following statements is correct?
A. Toluene has higher boiling point than benzene.
B. Benzene has hogher melting point that toluene.
C. Both are insolutble in water.
D. All of these are correct.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - 4
Toluene is slightly more polar than benzene due to the electron-releasing `CH_(3)` groups and, hence, has higher boiling points while benzene is more symmetrical than toluene and thus, fits better into the crystal lattice resulting in higher melting point.Both cannot form H bonds with water and thus are insoluble in water.
