Solution

  • No, phenol does not give the victor Mayer test.
  • Victor Mayer test- It is a chemical test that is done to differentiate between the alcohols as primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols. The primary alcohols give red, the secondary alcohols give blue and the tertiary alcohols are colourless.
  • Because the test involves the conversion of R-OH group into R-I which happens when there is a break in the bond in the carbon.
