Question
Ortho-Nitrophenol is less soluble in water than p- and m- Nitrophenols because :-
Options
A.Melting point of o-Nitrophenol is lower than those of m- and p- isomers
B.o-Nitrophenol is more volatile in steam than those of m- and p- isomers
C.o-Nitrophenol shows Intramolecular H-bonding
D.o-Nitrophenol shows Intermolecular H-bonding
Solution
due to presence of intramolecular H-bonding its interaction with water molecule will be poor, resulting into less solubility of the compound. While para & meta derivative forms intermolecular H-bonding with water.
