Question

B.) how many of each type of bond (single/double) is predicted for the carbon skeleton of benzene based on the structure?
C.) explain (a) According to the structure of benzene (below), what is the hybridization state of the six carbons in the benzene ring? (2 pts.) (b) How many of each type of bond (single and double) is predicted for the carbon of benzene based upon the structure above? (3 pts.) (c) A typical sp^2-sp^2 carbon-carbon single bond distance is 146 pm while a typical sp^2- Sp^2 carbon-Carbon double bond displays a bond distance of 134 pm. Experiments show that all six of the carbon-carbon bonds in the benzene molecule have identical lengths, 140 pm. Explain. (You may want to consult the resonance structures below for your explanation). (4 pts.)

Explanation / Answer

A) Hybridization sp2 with Pi bonds delocalized

B)According to this ,we would have 3 carbon-carbon double bonds and three single bonds .

C) This indicates a resonance hybrid , a mix between two possible structures
