Explanation:
Bond length of C−O bond in phenol is shorter than that in CH 3OH due to the following facts-
In phenol, conjugation of unshared electron pair over oxygen with aromatic ring results in partial double bond character in carbon-oxygen bond.
In phenol, oxygen is attached to a sp 2 hybridized carbon atom while in methanol it is attached to the sp3 hybridized carbon atom.
