Question

Number of resonance structures in c6h5oh

Answer 1

answer to your question is this

Answer 2

Answer:

• Phenol or hydroxybenzene, is an acidic aliphatic organic compound.
• It has a hydroxyl OH group attached to carbon atom of the aromatic ring.
• Phenols acidic compared to other aliphatics with Ka $1.1 \times 10^{-10}$.
• Hence these are also referred to as carboxylic acids. The OH group is highly activating group that is responsible for the high resonance stability.
• It has a partial positive charge on oxygen due to resonance and anion is formed due to loss of hydrogen ion.
