Answer:
The resonating structures for phenol are: (i) The OH group is strongly activating group and increases the electron density on benzene and making the ring of phenol very electron rich. As a result, it can readily donate electrons to an oxidising agents. (ii) Nitration of phenol is an electrophilic substitution reaction.
