Q 11. Explain the following:
(a) O=C=O is nonpolar while R—O—R is polar.  
(b) Alcohols and ethers of comparable molecular mass
have different boiling points.
(c) The carbon-oxygen bond in phenol is slightly
stronger than that in methanol.
In phenol, oxygen is attached to a sp2 hybridised
carbon atom while in methanol, it is attached to
a sp3 hybridised carbon atom. The bond formed
between oxygen and sp2 hybridised carbon is more  
stable than that formed between oxygen and sp3
hybridised carbon. [1]
OR
(i) Give reasons for the following:
(a) Protonation of Phenols is difficult whereas
ethanol easily undergoes protonation.
(b) Boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of
dimethyl ether.
(c) Anisole on reaction with HI gives phenol and
CH3-I as main products and not iodobenzene
and CH3OH.
