The C-O bond is much shorter in phenol than in ethanol. Given season.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`sp^(2)`, which result in partial double bond character due to conjugation unshared electron pair of oxygen with aromatic ring. Because C-O in phenol is attached with C=C while in ethanol C-O is attached `(sp^(3))` with C-C.
