Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds in a benzene molecule, 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. However, due to resonance, all the carbon-carbon bonds in benzene are equivalent and can be considered as one and a half bonds. ### Step 2: Identify the Types of Bonds In benzene: - Each carbon-carbon (C-C) bond is a sigma bond. ...
