The presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom, such as oxygen, within the same molecule. In the case of the options provided:

Options Analysis

  • o-Nitrophenol: This compound can form intramolecular hydrogen bonds due to the proximity of the hydroxyl group and the nitro group.
  • m-Nitrophenol: The arrangement of the groups does not favor intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
  • p-Nitrophenol: Similar to m-nitrophenol, the structure does not allow for intramolecular bonding.
  • Phenol: This compound lacks a nitro group, so intramolecular hydrogen bonding is not applicable.

Conclusion

Among the given options, o-nitrophenol is the only compound that exhibits intramolecular hydrogen bonding due to its structural arrangement.

is Pradeep Chemistry+Ncert sufficient for all of the theory of Jee Mains Chemistry?


Hi, I’m a self-study JEE 2027 aspirant with a large 11th backlog. Since I don’t think 6–8 hour one-shots are sufficient to cover the full theory + breadth of problem types of a JEE chapter, I’ve shifted from lecture-based preparation to book-based self-study.


I have a problem with using NCERT as my primary chemistry source. In my experience, it is concise and information-heavy, but often lacks detailed explanations, systematic organisation of concepts, and categorisation of problem types. This seems especially problematic for Physical and Organic Chemistry, where I feel that simply reading NCERT may not give enough depth or problem-solving preparation.


So I’m considering this approach:


Pradeep Chemistry → complete the chapter thoroughly from Pradeep → then read NCERT for that chapter → solve JEE Main PYQs/problems.


My main question is:


Is Pradeep + NCERT sufficient as the complete theory source for JEE Main-level Chemistry?


In other words, after thoroughly completing a chapter from Pradeep and then NCERT, can I consider the theory part of that chapter complete for JEE Main, with only PYQs/problem practice remaining?


I’m asking specifically about JEE Main level, not Advanced.


Also, if Pradeep is not sufficient, what specific gap does it leave, and what would you recommend as a better book-based alternative for self-study?
