Question

Which of the following organic isomers exhibits strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding (chelation) making it highly steam volatile?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

In o-nitrophenol, the adjacent $-OH$ and $-NO_2$ groups form a stable intramolecular hydrogen bond ring (chelation). This prevents it from forming intermolecular networks with water or other molecules, rendering it highly steam volatile.
