NEET Chemistry Properties of Phenols Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Phenol | (i) More acidic than ethanol |
| (b) Ethanol | (ii) Less acidic than phenol |
| (c) 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol | (iii) Strongly acidic |
| (d) 3-Nitrophenol | (iv) Moderately acidic |
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
Phenol is significantly more acidic than ethanol, while 2,4,6-trinitrophenol is known for its strong acidity due to the presence of three nitro groups that stabilize the negative charge on the phenoxide ion. The other options reflect common misconceptions about the acid strengths.
