No, and it is neither an alcohol (OH) but it is a very weak ACID!
C6H5OH --> H+ + C6H5O- (fenolate anion) pKa=9.89
Phenol red is a weak acid.
phenol red and litmus paper can indicate an acid or base
Phenol is acidic in nature. The phenolate anion is stable through resonance. Hence, an acid base reaction ensues between phenol and NaOH in water resulting in the formation of sodium phenolate, which is highly soluble in water compared to phenol.
Phenol is an acid while sodium hydroxide a base so it is acid base reaction forming the salt sodium phenoxide and water. C6H5-OH + NaOH = C6H5-ONa + H2O
Phenoxide ion is C6H5O-, formed when phenol, C6H5OH is treated with a base like NaOH.
Phenol red is a weak acid.
Phenol is a strong acid so it may be neutralized by any base as NaOH

phenol
phenol is more acidic because of the benzene ring present in the molecule,when you lose the H form the OH group it is possible to delocalise the charge around the aromatic system due to the pi electron cloud,straight chain alcohols cannot do this so it is less favourable to deprotonate them hance it is easier to deprotonate a phenol,hence we say it is more acidic
Calcium hydroxide, a base, will reaction with phenol, a weak acid in a neutralization reaction to give a salt (calcium phenoxide (Ca(PhO-)2) and water.
Phenol is flammable.
Yes, you may also say Resonance hybrid form.
