Which concept best explains that o-nitrophenol is more volatile than p-nitrophenol?

AResonance
BHyperconjugation
CHydrogen bonding
Correct Answer
DSteric hindrence

Solution

o-nitrophenol has intramolecular hydrogen bonding but p-nitrophenol has intramolecular hydrogen bonding so boiling point of p-nitrophenol is more than o-nitrophenol.
