Phenol

Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is an aromatic compound with the formula C₆H₅OH, consisting of a hydroxyl group bonded directly to a benzene ring. It exists as a white, crystalline solid that is volatile. Originally extracted from coal tar, phenol was famously used by Joseph Lister as an antiseptic in surgery, drastically reducing mortality from infections. Today, its primary role is as a precursor in the chemical industry. It is a key component in the production of plastics and related materials, most notably phenolic resins (like Bakelite), polycarbonates, and epoxies. It is also used to synthesize pharmaceuticals, including aspirin, and some herbicides. Explore searchable catalogue of hundreds of molecules, including details on how models were generated.

It will make the broken part even stronger.I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.The model represent
