  • Among the resonating structures of phenol, structure (I) and (V) are the most stable because they are neutral and all other structures have charges on them.
  • Structure (II) and (IV) are having same number of covalent bonds and have similar distance between the unlike charges. So, they are equally stable.
  • Structure (III) is least stable because the separation of unlike charges is highest in the structure.
