Q.
The reactions of phenol with metals, as well as

hybridized carbon attached to oxygen being more electronegative than

hybridized carbon of alcohol, decreases the electron density of oxygen. Because of this oxygen, it develops more electron seeking character and releases proton by taking the shared pair of electrons with it. The acidic nature of phenol can also be explained on the basis of resonance stabilization of phenoxide ion.
