Benzene ring has alternate single and double bonds, yet all the `C-C` bonds are of equal lengths. Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why all the C-C bonds in a benzene ring are of equal lengths despite the presence of alternating single and double bonds, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw the Structure of Benzene Benzene (C6H6) has a hexagonal structure consisting of six carbon atoms connected in a ring. In its simplest form, it can be represented with alternating single and double bonds: ``` C1 = C2 | | ...
