To solve the problem of identifying the two isomeric aromatic compounds A and B with the molecular formula C7H7OH, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Molecular Formula The given molecular formula is C7H7OH. This indicates that we have an aromatic compound (due to the presence of the benzene ring) with a hydroxyl group (-OH). ### Step 2: Identify Possible Isomers Since the compounds are isomeric, they will have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. The two main types of isomers we can consider are: - **Phenolic compounds**: where the -OH group is directly attached to a benzene ring. ...
