NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Reaction with sodium (i) Produces sodium phenoxide (b) Reaction with water (ii) Shows acidic nature (c) Reaction with Grignard reagents (iii) Forms alcohols (d) Reaction with dilute acids (iv) Hydrolyzes diazonium salts
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Phenols react with sodium to produce sodium phenoxide (a-i), react with water to demonstrate their acidic nature (b-ii), Grignard reagents lead to the formation of alcohols (c-iii), and diazonium salts hydrolyze when treated with dilute acids (d-iv). This aligns with the properties of phenols as indicated in the NCERT context.
