Explanation:
Ortho-chlorophenol is an organic compound which is a derivative of phenol whose relative compounds are also used as a disinfectant agents and pesticides.
O-chlorophenol 's boiling point is smaller than that of p-chlorophenol, because of the bonding with hydrogen. O- chlorophenol undergoes an intra-molecular hydrogen bonding and can readily be isolated during heating, as it has no significant interaction with other nearby molecules. Therefore it also has a higher melting point.
