Resorcinol is
- Benzene-1,3-diol
- Benzene-1,4-diol
- Benzene-1,2-diol
- 3-Methylphenol
- 4-Methylphenol
The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
Resorcinol is a chemical compound consisting of a benzene ring with two hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to the ring. The positions of the hydroxyl groups determine its name. In the case of resorcinol, the hydroxyl groups are attached to the 1st and 3rd positions on the benzene ring. This gives the compound the name Benzene-1, 3-diol.
The correct option is (A) : Benzene-1,3-diol
Approach Solution -2
Benzene-1,3-diol
Explanation:
Resorcinol is a chemical compound known as Benzene-1,3-diol. It is a dihydroxybenzene derivative, where two hydroxyl groups (–OH) are attached to the benzene ring at positions 1 and 3. The structure of resorcinol is:
OH | C6H4-OH | OH
Thus, the correct answer is Benzene-1,3-diol.
