Question

Which one of the statements is not true for salicyl-
aldehyde?
(1) It is intra molecularly hydrogen bonded
(2) It is steam volatile
(3) Have higher solubilities in organic solvents
(4) Have high melting point and boiling points​

Answer 1

Answer:

(3) Have higher solubilities in organic solvents.

this option is not true.

Answer 2

Answer:

Salicylaldehyde forms intramolecular hydrogen bonding and less boiling point and low solubility in water

The boiling point, melting point and solubilities of isomers containing intra-molecular hydrogen bonds are lower than their isomers showing intermolecular H- bonds. so it have low mp and bp and

insoluble in water
