p-Dichlorobenzene has higher m.p. and lower solubility than those of o- and m-isomers. Discuss.
p-Dichlorobenzene is more symmetrical than o-and m-isomers. For this reason, it fits more closely than o-and m-isomers in the crystal lattice. Therefore, more energy is required to break the crystal lattice of p-dichlorobenzene. As a result, p-dichlorobenzene has a higher melting point and lower solubility than o-and m-isomers.

Also, p-Dichlorobenzene are more soluble than ortho and meta isomers, not less.
They are soluble in organic solvents. So you have to compare its solubility in organic solvents. p-Dichlorobenzene has zero dipole moment. So It is non-polar & thus can easily be soluble in organic solvents which are non-polar than ortho & meta isomers which have some dipole moment which make them polar & thus because of their polarity, It\'s hard to be soluble in non-polar a.k.a organic solvents because polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents & vice versa.
Thanks a lot
Haloarenes are insoluble in water then how we compare solubility here
