O-nitrophenol has _________ melting point than /j-nitrophenol. |
|
Answer» Explanation: In p-nitrophenol, MOLECULAR association takes PLACE due to extensive hydrogen bonding between the molecules (intermolecular hydrogen bonding). Therefore, it has higher MELTING and boiling points. In o-nitrophenol, since the OH and NO2 are in close proximity to each other, intramolecular hydrogen bonding takes place. |
