The boiling point of p-nitrophenol is hgiher than that of o-nitrophenol because

Answer»

`NO_(2)` group at p-position behaves in a DIFFERENT way from that at o- position
INTRAMOLECULAR hydrogen bonding exists inp-nitrophenol
there is INTERMOLECULAR hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol
p-nitrophenol has a HIGHER molecular weight than o-nitrophenol.

Solution :The b.pt of p-nitrophenol is higher than that of o-nitrophenol because in p-nitrophenol there is intermolecular H-bonding in o-nitrophenol it is intramolecular H=bonding.
