Which of the following statements about benzene is true? Benzene

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Benzene is unusually stable because it has delocalized pi electrons that are spread out over all of the carbon atoms in the ring. This delocalization makes it difficult for the molecule to undergo addition reactions and contributes to its unique aromatic properties. Option A is incorrect as benzene has six equal length carbon-carbon bonds which lie somewhere between a single bond and a double bond in length. Option B is incorrect as the ring is flat and planar, not puckered. Option D is incorrect as benzene is resistant to addition reactions due to its stable delocalized electron arrangement.
