Ortho-Nitrophenol is less soluble in water than p– and m– Nitrophenols because: (1) Melting point of o–Nitrophenol is lower than those of m– and p– isomers (2) o–Nitrophenol is more volatile in steam than those of m– and p– isomers (3) o–Nitrophenol shows Intramolecular H–bonding (4) o–Nitrophenol shows Intermolecular H–bonding
