Solution
In o-nitrophenol the –OH and -NO2 groups are on adjacent carbons, so the H of –OH forms a hydrogen bond with an O of -NO2 within the same molecule (a six-membered chelate ring): intramolecular H-bonding.
p-Nitrophenol and m-nitrophenol: the groups are too far apart → only intermolecular H-bonding.
HF: intermolecular H-bonding (zig-zag chains).
