Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}}$

➡️Acidity of Phenols:- Phenols are the organic compounds containing benzene ring bonded to a hydroxyl group. They are also known as carbolic acids. Phenols react with active metals like sodium, potassium to form phenoxide. This reaction of phenol with metals indicates its acidic nature.

Answer 2

❤Answer ❤

The acidity of phenols is due to its ability to lose hydrogen ion to form phenoxide ions. In a phenol molecule, the sp2 hybridised carbon atom of benzene ring attached directly to the hydroxyl group acts as an electron withdrawing group.
