However, here are some key points regarding alcohol and phenols:

Alcohol:
- Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom
- Classified based on the number of -OH groups attached to the carbon atom (monohydroxy, dihydroxy, trihydroxy, etc.)
- Used as solvents, disinfectants, fuels, and in alcoholic beverages
- Can cause intoxication, addiction, and health problems when consumed in excessive amounts

Phenols:
- Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom in a benzene ring
- Classified based on the position of the -OH group on the benzene ring (ortho-, meta-, para-phenols)
- Used as disinfectants, antiseptics, and in the production of plastics, drugs, and dyes
- Can be toxic and cause skin irritation when in contact with skin in high concentrations.
