JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Given below are two statements Statement \(I :\) \(o-\)Nitrophenol is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Statement \(II :\) \(o-\)Nitrophenol has high melting due to hydrogen bonding. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  1. A Statement \(I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true
  2. B Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are true
  3. C Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are false
  4. D Statement \(I\) is true but statement \(II\) is false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement \(I\) is true but statement \(II\) is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

thus it is more volatile due to intramolecular \(H-\)bonding. Melting point depends on packing efficiency
