What is the hybridization state of carbon, in benzene?
Correct answer: A. sp2
- A. sp2
- B. sp3
- C. sp
- D. dsp2
Explanation
Each carbon in benzene has 3 σ-bonds and 1 π-bond. 3 σ-bonds means that there are 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals for each carbon. So, the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
