Boiling***

Lekha Raj 7 years, 3 months ago

Ortho nitrophenol is an intra-molecular hydrogen bonded compound whereas p nitrophenol is an inter-molecular hydrogen bonded compound.(INTRA MOLECULAR HYDROGEN BONDING MEANS HYDROGEN BOND FORMATION TAKES PLACE IN THE SAME MOLECULE B/W TWO FUNCTIONAL GROUPS.AND,INTER MOLECULAR HYDROGEN BONDING TAKES PLACE B/W TWO MOLECULES.THAT MEANS P NITROPHENOL IS STRONGLY BONDED THAN O NITROPHENOL.) This simply implies that p nirophenol needs more heat /energy to overcome from this intermolecular hydrogen bonding than o nitrophenol.Hence o nitrophenol has lower boilin point.

Due to less symmetry of o nitro phenol
