The occurrence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds due to the H- bonds in alcohol compounds play a major role . With the increasing number of alkyl groups the molecular mass increases due to which the polar nature of these compounds get suppressed . Hence, the solubility factor of alcohols is indirectly proportional to the molecular mass.

The bond angle C—O—H in alcohols is less than tetrahedral angle because of the repulsion between the lone pairs present on the oxygen atom, which pushes the bond C—O—H closer. Therefore, C—O—H bond angle in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle.
In ethers, the lone pairs on oxygen atoms are also present but the two bulky alkyl groups also have repulsive force which increases the C—O—C bond angle. Therefore, the C—O—C bond angle in ether is slightly greater than tetrahedral ang

Ethers are prepared by Williamson synthesis by the reaction of alkyl halide with the stadium alkoxide. But this is not possible in case of di-tert-butyl ether. In case of preparation of di-tert-butyl ether, tert-butyl halide must react with sodium tert-butoxide. Alkoxides are nucleophiles but they are strong bases as well, due to which elimination is favoured instead of substitution and leads to the formation of 2-methylprop-1-ene.

In phenol, the electron pairs on oxygen atom of -OH group are in conjugation (or resonance) with phenyl ring which decreases the polarity of the C-OH bond whereas in methanol the polarity of C-OH bond is more due to electron releasing group of -CH3.

The nitration of aromatic compounds occurs by using HSO4 and HNO3 which leads to the formation of NO2+ (nitronium ion) electrophile.

Due to the formation of NO2+ electrophile, we can say that nitration is an example of aromatic electrophilic substitution. The electron releasing group on the benzene ring increases the rate of nitration and vice-versa.
Phenol is more easily nitrated than benzene as the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the benzene ring is an electron releasing group which increases the electron density at the ortho and para position due to +R effect of -
