i)The increasing order of their incresing boiling point Ortho nitrophenol meta nitrophenol and para nitrophenol are in the order ortho nitrophenol, meta nitrophenol, and para-nitrophenol increase in that order.
ii)The melting points of the nitro-phenols reflect the degree of intermolecular hydrogen bonding .
iii) For ortho -nitrophenol, hydrogen bonding would be intra-molecular, i.e. confined to the SAME molecule. For meta and para nitrophenols , hydrogen bonding would become intermolecular, a force between molecules. This is reflected by the higher melting points and boiling points. This is the reason of the given increasing order.
