Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Benzene is the most polar among the options given due to its delocalized pi electrons over the aromatic ring, which gives it a slight ability to engage in pi stacking and dipole-induced dipole interactions, unlike hexane which is a nonpolar alkane, and toluene which is very similar to benzene but has a methyl group reducing its overall polarity compared to benzene.
