Phenol is found in nature in some foods, in human and animal wastes and in decomposing organic material.
the brawn colour is formed and this is due to the presece of the OH functional froup found in the phenol.
phenol
Phenol is flammable.
In Phenol, the compounds are in ring formation.
Simple phenolic resins are condensation polymers formed from phenol and formaldehyde. Therefore, they contain only the elements found in phenol and formaldehyde: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The characteristic bond for a cured phenolic resin is a methylene group, derived from a formaldehyde molecule, joining two aromatic rings derived from two phenol molecules. A wide variety of structural formulas are possible, because resins can be made from a variety of ratios between phenol and formaldehyde.

What are some examples of Phenol
Yes, at room temperature bromine reacts with phenol and forms 2,4,6-tribromo phenol.
Both water and phenol are very weak acids. Though phenol is the stronger of the two.
Phenol. Phenol's Dipole Moment: 1.7D Phenyl chloride's Dipole Moment: 1.54D
The substitution reactions of phenol are easier than benzene, phenol directly reacts with bromine and gives tribromo phenol while benzene requires FeCl3 as a catalyst and gives mono bromo phenol.
