The figure shows two nitrophenols, I and II. Read five statements on their hydrogen bonds. (i) In I, the hydrogen bond forms within one molecule. (ii) In II, hydrogen bonds link the OH group of one molecule to the nitro group of another. (iii) The hydrogen bond in I closes a ring of six atoms, counting the hydrogen. (iv) Molecules of I hold one another more strongly than molecules of II do. (v) A hydrogen bond is stronger than an O-H covalent bond. How many of these statements are correct?
