Why is the melting point of toluene only -95°C, whereas that of benzene is 5°C?
A.) because less energy is needed to melt solid benzene than to melt solid toluene
B.) because toluene molecules pack together more efficiently than benzene molecules.
C.) because benzene is a highly symmetrical planar molecule
D.) because the intermolecular forces that depend on close contact are stronger in solid toluene than in solid benzene
