Options

A. 150
B. 90
C. 120
D. 60

Answer

C

Explanation

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula `C_6H_6`. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each, where all the bonds are identical. It has a shape of a regular hexagon, with bond angles of `120^@` The delocalisation of the electrons that there aren.t alternating double and single bonds.
