Phenolndi gulu lomwe lili ndi mphete ya benzene ndi gulu la hydroxyl.Mu chemistry, mowa umatanthauzidwa ngati mankhwala omwe ali ndi gulu la hydroxyl ndi unyolo wa hydrocarbon.Choncho, kutengera tanthauzo ili, phenol si mowa.

Komabe, ngati tiyang'ana pa kapangidwe ka phenol, tikhoza kuona kuti ili ndi gulu la hydroxyl.Izi zikutanthauza kuti phenol ali ndi makhalidwe ena a mowa.Komabe, kapangidwe ka phenol ndi kosiyana ndi kapangidwe ka mowa wina chifukwa imakhala ndi mphete ya benzene.Mphete ya benzene iyi imapatsa phenol mawonekedwe ake apadera komanso mawonekedwe ake omwe ndi osiyana ndi a mowa.

Choncho, potengera structural makhalidwe phenol ndi mowa, tikhoza kunena kuti phenol si mowa.Komabe, ngati tingoyang'ana kuti phenol ili ndi gulu la hydroxyl, ndiye kuti ili ndi makhalidwe ena a mowa.Chifukwa chake, yankho la funso lakuti "Kodi phenol ndi mowa?"sichingakhale inde kapena ayi.Zimatengera nkhani komanso tanthauzo la mowa womwe tikugwiritsa ntchito.
