Which of the following does not exist in solid state at room temperature? This question has multiple correct options

  • A. \( 1,4- \) dichlorobenzene
  • B. 1,3 -dichlorobenzene
  • C. 1,2 -dichlorobenzene
  • D. All of the above

Step-by-step solution

At room temperature (around 25°C), 1,4-dichlorobenzene (A) is a solid (mp 53°C), while 1,2-dichlorobenzene (mp -17°C) and 1,3-dichlorobenzene (mp -24°C) are liquids. Therefore, both B and C do not exist as solids at room temperature. Since the question indicates multiple correct options, B and C are correct; B is selected here to conform to the single-output format.
