Assertion:- - Nitrophenol is less acidic than - nitrophenol.
Reason:-p-Nitrophenol has intermolecular -bonding.
Reason:-p-Nitrophenol has intermolecular -bonding.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B (If both Assertion & reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because while both statements are true, the reason (p-Nitrophenol has intermolecular H-bonding) does not explain why m-Nitrophenol is less acidic than p-Nitrophenol. The difference in acidity is primarily due to the resonance and inductive effects of the nitro group at different positions.
