1. Toluene and Phenol are organic chemical elements.
2. The chemical formula of Toluene is $\left({\mathrm{C}}_7{\mathrm{H}}_8\right)$ and that of Phenol is $\left({\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_6\mathrm{O}\right)$.
3. Phenol is a flammable white crystalline substance and should be handled with caution as it is mildly acidic in nature.
4. Its Phenyl group is attached with hydroxyl groups.
