Phenol - Structure and Properties (A-Level Chemistry)

Outlining the structure and properties of phenol. Why phenol can act as a weak acid and how the hydroxy (OH) group ‘activates’ phenol and makes it more reactive with electrophiles. The solubility of phenol in water and its higher than expected melting point is also covered.
