Account for the following :
(i) Phenol exhibits acidic character
(ii) Phenol does not get protonated readily
(iii) Phenol, Benzendiazonium chloride, `NaOH` solution gives red dye.

Account for the following : (i) Phenol has a smaller dipole moment than methanol. (ii) Phenols do not give protonation reaction readily.

Account for the following: (i) The boiling points of alchols decrease with increase in branching of the alkyl chain. (ii) Phenol does not give protonation reaction readily. (iii) Phenyl methyl ehter reacts with HI to give phenol and methyl iodide and not iodobenzene and methyl alcohol.

Which of the following will give phenol with CaO and NaOH ?

How are the following conversions done ? (i) phenol to phenyl ethanoate (ii) aniline to phenol and (iii) phenol to anisole

How would convert the following: (i) Phenol to benzoquinone (ii) Propanone to 2-methyl propan -2-ol (iii) Propene to propan -2-ol

Account for the following: (i) The boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of methanol. (ii) Phenol is a stronger acid than an alcohol. (iii) The boiling points of ethers are lower than isomeric alcohols.

Which of the following methods does not give phenol ?

(a) Write one equation each for decomposition reaction when energy is supplied in the form of : (i) heat , (ii) light. (b) Account for the following : (i) Paint is applied on iron articles. (ii) Oil and fat containing food items are flushed with nitrogen . (iii) When an iron nail kept in copper sulphate solution, blue colour of the solution fades and iron nail becomes brownish .

Account for the following: (i) Cu^(+) ions are not stable in aqueous solution. (ii) Most of the transition metal ions exhibit paramagnetic behaviour.
