Question

Why does intramolecular hydrogen bonding decrease the boiling point of the compound?

Open in App
Solution

  • Intramolecular hydrogen bonding decreases the boiling point.
  • Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs in two atoms of same molecule.
  • It decreases the melting and boiling point because of chelation.
  • Intramolecular hydrogen bonding forms a ring structure called as chelates.
  • During chelation molecule behave like a monomer and therefore easy to volatilize during intramolecular hydrogen bonding .
