Phenol is acidic in nature because it can lose hydrogen ions from its OH bond, as on losing this hydrogen phenoxide ion is formed which is stable. Though it is a weak acid it is in equilibrium with the phenolate anion C6H5O− which is also called phenoxide. Phenol is more acidic than aliphatic compounds containing OH group due to resonance stabilization of phenoxide ion by the aromatic ring.
