The bonding in benzene differs from that of other unsaturated hydrocarbons in that each carbon atom participates in

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In benzene, each carbon atom forms three single bonds (two with adjacent carbon atoms and one with a hydrogen atom) and participates in a delocalized π-electron system across the ring, rather than forming localized double bonds. This delocalization contributes to benzene's stability and unique chemical properties.
