   Phenol \Phe"nol\, n. [Gr. [?] to show + -ol: cf. F. ph[82]nol.]
      (Chem.)
      1. A white or pinkish crystalline substance, {C6H5OH},

      Note: It has a peculiar odor, somewhat resembling creosote,
               which is a complex mixture of phenol derivatives. It is
               of the type of alcohols, and is called also {phenyl
               alcohol}, but has acid properties, and hence is
               popularly called {carbolic acid}, and was formerly
               called {phenic acid}. It is a powerful caustic poison,
               and in dilute solution has been used as an antiseptic.

      {Phenol acid} (Chem.), any one of a series of compounds which
            are at once derivatives of both phenol and some member of
            the fatty acid series; thus, salicylic acid is a phenol
            acid.
