Compared to meta and para isomers, o-nitrophenol has

Answer»

lower solubility in water
higher melting POINT and boiling point
lower enthalpy of FUSION
all of these

Solution :In contrast to meta and PARA -isomers, o-nitrophenol has intramolecular H- bonding which PREVENTS assiciation resulting in lower melting point and boilign point, DECREASE in enthalpy of fusion and decrease of solubility in water.
