Question

Which one of the following does not have
intermolecular H-bonding ?

• A. $H_{2}O$
• B. $\text{o-nitro phenol}$
• C. $HF$
• D. $C{H}_{3}COOH$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{o-nitro phenol}$

Option (a)

Intermolecular H-bonding in $H_{2}O$ exists between acidic 'H' of one molecule and the electronegative O-atom of other molecule.

Option (b)It has intramolecular H-bonding.

Option (c)


It has intermolecular H-bonding.

Option (d)
Here, because of exsitence of intermolecular H-bonding, acetic acid exists in the dimer form.
Hence, the correct option is (b)
