10 Questions
What is the defining feature of alcohols?
The presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a saturated carbon atom.
What are the two types of aromatic hydroxy compounds?
Phenols and aromatic alcohols.
How are phenols different from aromatic alcohols?
Phenols have a hydroxyl group directly attached to the carbon atom of a benzene ring, while aromatic alcohols have the hydroxyl group in the side chain of the aromatic ring.
