Hii
However both alcohols and phenols are weak acids , the alcohols are less acidic then phenols because it is very tough to remove the H ion from alcohol.Phenol can lose ion easily because phenoxide ion formed is stabilised to some extent,This is as the negative charge on the oxygen atom is delocalised.
