Given below are two statements:
Statement 1: is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Statement 2: has a high melting point due to hydrogen bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false
Answer : (D)
Explanation for correct option :
is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen . But has a higher melting point due to its symmetry.
Hence option D is correct.
