Question:medium

Phenol is more acidic than alcohol because:

Show Hint

Stable conjugate base = Stronger acid. Resonance "spreads" the charge, making phenoxide very stable.

Updated On: May 5, 2026

O$-$H bond is weaker
Phenoxide ion is resonance stabilised
Phenol is a solid
Higher molecular weight

Show Solution

The Correct Option is B
