Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The nature of hydrogen bonding in 2- nitrophenol and 4- nitrophenol is quite different.

In 2- nitrophenol, there is intramolecular hydrogen bonding.  As a result of this, the compound has a low boiling point.

Then in 4- nitrophenol, there is intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This accounts for molecular association and higher boiling point in 4- nitrophenol.
