Alcohols are less acidic than pehnols because it is hard to remove H ions from alcohol

HELLO FRNDS.
____________
BOTH ALCHOHAL AND PHENOLS ARE weak acid.
An acidic substance is something that can produce a hydrogen (H+) when in water.
BUT THE ALCHOHAL ARE less ACIDS THAN PHENOLS.
because it is very tough to remove the H ion from alcohol.
☆☆☆PHENOLS ions can be easily lost because the formation of phenoxide ion is somewhat stable, as is the negative charge on the oxygen atom is delocalised around the ring i.e., having a cyclic structure in phenol, it remains stable even after hydrogen is removed Helps in Deloclyged charging is distributed almost evenly through negative charge compounds. There is more stable ion, it is more likely to be. In this case, phenol is similar to not having alcohol after hydrogen ion is removed and thus some may have acidic effects.☆☆
