Ortho -nitrophenol is less soluble in water than `p`-and `m-`nitrophenols because

A

o-rth-bitriphenol is less soluble in water than p- and m-nitrophenol is more volatile steam than those of m- and p-isomers.

B

0-nitrophenol shows intramolecular H-bonding

C

0-nitrophenol shows intramolecular H-bonding

D

melting point of 0-nitrophenol is lower than those of m-and p-isomers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
There is intramolecular H-bonding in o-nitrophenol and thus solubility in water is decreased.
