Phenol exhibits hydrogen bonding due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group. This ability allows phenol to interact with other molecules, leading to higher boiling points compared to similar compounds without such groups. Additionally, the aromatic ring contributes to its stability and reactivity, making phenol an important compound in organic chemistry.
Phenol does not react with PCl5 under room temperature and pressure because the hydroxyl group (-OH) on phenol is not a strong enough nucleophile to displace the chloride ions in PCl5. Additionally, the lone pairs on the oxygen in phenol are occupied with electron delocalization within the benzene ring, making them less available for nucleophilic attack.

Carbon monoxide exhibits covalent bonding.
Yes, the conjugate base of phenol, phenoxide ion (C6H5O-), exhibits resonance stabilization due to delocalization of the negative charge across the aromatic ring. This resonant hybrid structure contributes to the stability of the phenoxide ion.
The derivative of Phenol is Carbolic acid.
The type of bond that the compound phenol salicylate has is a covalent bond. It is created by heating phenol and salicylic acid together.
Phenol has 6 sigma bonds and 1 pi bond.
No, phenol does not give a positive biuret test. The biuret test is used to detect the presence of proteins, not phenol. Phenol is a type of organic compound that does not contain the peptide bonds that the biuret test reacts with.

Simple phenolic resins are condensation polymers formed from phenol and formaldehyde. Therefore, they contain only the elements found in phenol and formaldehyde: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The characteristic bond for a cured phenolic resin is a methylene group, derived from a formaldehyde molecule, joining two aromatic rings derived from two phenol molecules. A wide variety of structural formulas are possible, because resins can be made from a variety of ratios between phenol and formaldehyde.
The derivative of Phenol is Carbolic acid.
Water and phenol are partially miscible with each other, meaning they can mix to some extent but not completely. This is due to differences in their polarities and hydrogen bonding capabilities. Water is polar and can hydrogen bond, while phenol is slightly polar and can also form some hydrogen bonds, allowing them to mix partially.
