bond angle of phenol is high than that of methanol. why?

• In alcohols bond angle is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle (109°-28′). It is due to the repulsion between the unshared electron pairs of oxygen.
• In phenols, the –OH group is attached to sp² hybridised carbon of an aromatic ring. The carbon– oxygen bond length (136 pm) in phenol is slightly less than that in methanol while bond angle is slightly more then the methanol because:

(i) partial double bond character on account of the conjugation of unshared electron pair of oxygen with the aromatic ring

(ii) sp² hybridised state of carbon to which oxygen is attached.
