Question:medium

\(o\)-hydroxybenzaldehyde is a liquid while the \(p\)-isomer is a solid because:

Show Hint

Intramolecular hydrogen bonding lowers intermolecular attraction and generally lowers melting and boiling points.

Updated On: May 16, 2026

\(o\)-isomer shows intramolecular hydrogen bonding while \(p\)-isomer shows intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
\(o\)-isomer shows intermolecular hydrogen bonding while \(p\)-isomer shows intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Both show intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Both show intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
