Chemistry-Properties of Phenols

NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question

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

Match Column-I with Column-II.

Column-I Column-II (a) Phenoxide ion (i) More stable than phenol (b) 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (ii) Stronger acid than ethanol (c) Benzene (iii) Converted to phenol by hydrolysis (d) Salicylaldehyde (iv) Produced from phenol via Reimer-Tiemann reaction

Choose the correct matching:

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Phenoxide ion is indeed more stable than phenol due to charge delocalization. Also, 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol is a stronger acid than ethanol, and benzene can be converted to phenol through hydrolysis of diazonium salts. Salicylaldehyde is produced from phenol via the Reimer-Tiemann reaction.
