Which one of the following statements is not correct?

A

Alcohols are weaker acids than water

B

Acids strength of alcohols decreases in the following `RCH_(2)OH gt R_(2)CHOH gt R_(3)COH`

C

Carbon - oxygen bond length in methanol, `CH_(3)OH` is shorter than that of `C-O` bond length in phenol.

D

The bond angle in methanol is `108.9^(@)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The `C-O` bond length in alcohols is 142 pm and in Phenol it is 136 pm. The `C-O` bond length is phenol is shorter than that in methanol due to the conjugation of unshared pair of electrons on oxygen with the ring, which imparts double bond character to `C-O` bond.
