What is the consequence of the carbon-oxygen bond in phenols having a partial double bond character?
Options
- APhenols are highly reactive.
- BPhenols are less reactive.
- CPhenols are insoluble in most solvents.
- DPhenols cannot form aryl halides.
Correct answer
B. Phenols are less reactive.
Step-by-step solution
The partial double bond character of the carbon-oxygen bond in phenols makes them less reactive.
