Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

The linear hydrogen bond is stronger than the angular hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bonding in ice linear but in water is angular. Due to linear structure the hydrogen bond in ice is stronger than in water. Because the intramolecular bond in salicyclic acid is stronger it exist as unassociated liquid where as $p$-hydroxy benzoic acid exist as associated liquid. When the solvent molecules associate linearly through hydrogen bonding dipolemoment and dielectric constant values increases.
