Question
How are phenols classified? Give suitable examples.
✓
Answer
Phenols are classified on the basis of number of hydroxyl $(- OH )$ groups present in a molecule of phenol.
(1) Monohydric phenols : Phenols contain one hydroxyl group in their molecule.
(2) Dihydric Phenols : Phenols contain two hydroxyl groups in their molecule.
(3) Trihydric phenols : Phenols contain three hydroxyl groups in their molecule.
