A

`NO_2` group at p-position behave in a different way from that at o-position

B

intramolecular hydrogen bonding exists in p-nitrophenol

C

there is intermolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol

D

p-nitrophenol has a higher molecular weight than o-nitrophenol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The boiling point of p-nitrophenol is higher than that of o-nitrophenol because p-nitrophenol have intermolecular hydrogen bonding whereas o-nitrophenol have intramolecular H-bonding as given below
