Answer:
Negative ions
Explanation:
Phenol undergoes ionization to become more stable by reacting with negative ions as the negative charge is no longer entirely localised on the oxygen but is spread out around the whole ion. Spreading the charge around makes the ion more stable than it would be if all the charge remained on the oxygen.
