Which one of the following is correct structure of benzene?
Correct answer: B. Hexagonal planer
- A. Tetrahedral
- B. Hexagonal planer
- C. Hexagonal irregular
- D. Trigonal planar
Explanation
The structure of benzene is a planar ring of six carbon atoms, with one hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. The carbon-carbon bonds in benzene are all equal in length, and they are intermediate between single and double bonds. This is because the electrons in the carbon-carbon bonds are delocalized around the ring, which makes the bonds stronger and more stable.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
