Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is present in

  1. Ap-nitrophenol
  2. Bphenol
  3. Co-nitrophenol
  4. Dmethanol

Answer: C

In o-nitrophenol the OH group lies next to the group, so a six-membered chelate ring is formed by O-H...O hydrogen bonding within the same molecule. In p-nitrophenol, phenol and methanol the groups are too far apart, so hydrogen bonds are intermolecular.
