Lewis Structure of Phenol
![Picture](/uploads/4/1/5/4/41547645/1521892.jpg?323)
Nature of Bonds:
C-H = 0.4 --> strongly/moderately covalent
C-O = 1.0 --> moderately covalent
O-H = 1.4 --> weakly covalent
Based on Lewis Structure, phenol is a polar molecule.
Phenol has no AX form because it is a cyclic molecule.

The hexagonal ring of carbon atoms have all bond angles of 120 degrees. The measures of the angles between the carbon and hydrogen atoms are also 120 degrees. The measure of the angle between the hydrogen and oxygen atom is 109 degrees. There are also two unshared electron pairs on the oxygen atom.
Purple= oxygen
Orange= hydrogen
Blue= carbon
