Question:
Why o-nitrophenol has lower boiling point than p-nitrophenol ?
Answer:
Hi Abdur,
O-nitrophenol forms intra-molecular hydrogen bonding.
P-nitrophenol forms inter-molecular hydrogen bonding.
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding associaties the molecule and it leads to increase in boiling point.
Hope you got your answer
