o-Nitrophenol forms intramolecular H bondwhereas molecules of p-Nitrophenol getassociated through intermolecular H bond. During boiling, the strong intermolecular H bonding increases the boiling point but intramolecular H bonding cannot do so. Therefore, o-Nitrophenol is more steam volatile than p-Nitrophenol.
