Chapter 13, Problem 13.41AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible structures of phenol for given molecular formula $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{7}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}\text{O}\right)$ to be drawn

Concept Introduction:

Line (skeletal) structure: In organic compounds, the series of atoms in the compound are bonded together which shown by drawing a line between them. End of line segment represents carbon.

Phenol: Compound containing hydroxyl group $\left(\text{-OH}\right)$ bonded directly to an aromatic benzene ring $\left({\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_5\right)$.
