1.	SIR,Which xylenes are thermodynamically most stable?ortho, para, or meta?
Answer» From ortho, para and meta-xylene, meta-xylene is the most stable. m-xylene is more thermodynamically controlled product, whereas the other two are kinematically controlled product. Methyl is an ortho-para directing group. In ortho and para-xylene, electron density BECOMES HIGH DUE to +R effect of methyl group, whereas this is not SEEN in the CASE of meta-xylene. Thus, m-xylene is more stable. Hope it helps☺️☺️. Mark me as brainlist ☺️☺️
