o-nitrophenol can be easily steam distilled whereas p-nitrophenol cannot be. This is because of :
- strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol
- strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol
- strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol
- dipole moment of p-nitrophenol is larger than that of o-nitrophenol
Answer
(B) strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol
