The carbon-carbon bonds in benzene are _________. of equal length and are shorter than the double bond of equal length and are midway between a single bond and a double bond of equal length and are longer than the single of unequal length and alternate as single and double bond none of the above

Respuesta :

Answer:

of equal length and are midway between a single bond and a double bond

Explanation:

Benzene -

The chemical formula for benzene is C₆H₆ , which consists six bonds , which are of each bond length , which is somewhere in between double and single bond .

The property responsible for this type of bond length in benzene molecule is Resonance .

Resonance refers to the process of delocalization of electron in the given structure .

Hence , from the given question ,

Due to the process of resonance , the bond length between the carbon and hydrogen is of equal length .
