Expert Solution

Step 1

The compound containing the -OH group is called alcohol and in the case of benzene, it is called phenol. We can divide the alcohols into three categories.

$1 °$ Alcohol-When the -OH groups attached directly to one carbon atom.
$2 °$ Alcohol-When the -OH groups attached directly to two carbon atoms.
$3 °$ Alcohol-When the -OH groups attached directly to the three-carbon atoms.
