Answer 2

Explanation:

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is defined as the bonding in which a hydrogen atom is attached to an electronegative atom which is present in another molecule.

Whereas when hydrogen atom of a molecules interacts with electronegative atom of the same molecules then also there exists hydrogen bonding. This type of hydrogen bonding is known as intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

In p-chlorophenol, both hydrogen atom and electronegative chlorine atom are present within the same molecule. Hence, there exists intramolecular hydrogen bonding in a p-chlorophenol.
