Question

why phenol is acidic but alcohal is not? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

•♦Phenol♦•

Phenol is more acidic than cyclohexanol and acyclic alcohols because the phenoxide ion is more stable than the alkoxide ion. In an alkoxide ion, the negative charge is localized at the oxygen atom. But in a phenoxide ion, the negative charge is delocalized over the benzene ring.
