Which concept best explains that o - n i t r o p h e n o l is more volatile than p - n i t r o p h e n o l
Options
- AResonance
- BHyperconjugation
- CHydrogen bonding
- DSteric hindrence
Correct answer
C. Hydrogen bonding
Step-by-step solution
o - n i t r o p h e n o l has intramolecular hydrogen bonding but p - n i t r o p h e n o l has intermolecular hydrogen bonding so boiling point of p - n i t r o p h e n o l is more than o - n i t r o p h e n o l .
