Description : Phenols do not undergo substitution of the — OH group like alcohols. Explain.

Last Answer : The C — O bond in phenols has some double bond character due to resonance and hence cannot be easily cleaved by a nucleophile. In contrast, the C — O bond in alcohols is a pure single bond and hence can be easily cleaved by a nucleo phile.

Last Answer : In o-nitrophenol, there is intramolecular hydrogen bonding as follows : In p-nitrophenol, there is intramolecular hydrogen bonding as follows :   Due to intermolecular H ... -nitrophenol. Hence o-nitraphenol due to its lower b. p. is steam volatile while pnitrophenol is not.

Description : Alcohols are easily protonated than phenols. Justify.

Last Answer : Ans. In phenols lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom are delocalised over the benzene ring due to resonance and hence are not easily available for protonation. In contrast in alcohols, ... oxygen atom are localized due to absence of resonance and hence are easily available for protonation. 

Description : Phenol has smaller dipole moment than methanol. (OR) Why are dipole moments of phenols smaller than dipole moments of alcohols ?

Last Answer : Due to electron-withdrawing effect of the benzene ring, the C — O bond in phenol is less polar but in case of methanol due to electron-donating effect of — CH3 group, C — O bond is more polar.
