Correct option is A
The correct answer is (A) three
- Benzene has three double bonds.
Information booster:
Benzene is a molecule with a hexagonal ring structure that appears to have alternating single and double bonds between six carbon atoms.
- Each carbon atom in benzene has a p orbital that overlaps with the p orbitals of its neighboring carbon atoms.
- This overlap creates a cyclic delocalization of electrons across all six carbon atoms, forming a continuous π-electron cloud above and below the plane of the ring.
- Due to this delocalization, the bonds in benzene are not distinct single or double bonds but are of equal length, giving benzene its unique stability and structure.
