A Bakelite (plastic) is formed by the polymerization of methanal With:
Correct answer: C. Phenol
- A. Benzene
- B. Ammonia
- C. Phenol
- D. Hydrocarbon
Explanation
C is correct. Methanal reacts with phenol to give hydroxy benzyl alcohol which on further reaction with phenol gives polymer Bakelite.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
