NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-match the column-Easy-Class 12

Match Column-I with Column-II.

Column-I Column-II (a) 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (i) Less acidic than phenol (b) Phenol (ii) Most acidic (c) 3-nitrophenol (iii) More acidic than phenol (d) Propan-1-ol (iv) Least acidic

Choose the correct matching:

A

a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv

B

a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii

C

a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv

D

a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

2,4,6-trinitrophenol is the most acidic due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect of the nitro groups, making it more acidic than phenol. Propan-1-ol is the least acidic compared to phenol, which is more acidic than 3-nitrophenol due to resonance stabilization.
