At room temperature, phenol is typically a colorless to light pink solid or a viscous liquid, depending on the specific conditions and purity. It has a melting point of about 40.9 °C (105.6 °F) and a boiling point of approximately 182 °C (360 °F). Due to its relatively low melting point, phenol can exist as a liquid in warmer conditions but may solidify at lower temperatures. It has a distinctive odor and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air.
