AI Generated Solution

To determine the hybridization state of each carbon atom in benzene, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure of Benzene Benzene (C₆H₆) is a cyclic molecule consisting of six carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring, with alternating single and double bonds. Each carbon atom is also bonded to one hydrogen atom. ### Step 2: Count the Sigma Bonds Each carbon atom in benzene forms three sigma (σ) bonds: 1. One σ bond with a hydrogen atom. ...
