Benzyl alcohol is C6H5CH2OH. Structurally it consists of a benzene molecule with one hydrogen replaced by -CH2OH. this group is what makes the compound behave as an alcohol.
The benzene ring has 3 double bonds and these are delocalised around the ring.

What classification of alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone?
A secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone; a primary alcohol forms an aldehyde instead, and a tertiary alcohol usually does not form either a ketone or an alcohol, because the carbon having the OH group in a tertiary alcohol already has three bonds to other carbon atoms and therefore cannot form a double bond to oxygen without more extensive breaking of other bonds in the tertiary alcohol.
Do organic bonds have single or double bonds?
There are no certain bond type.There are single,double or triple bonds.
How many double bonds does perchlorate have?

What are the three types of alkadienes?
Cumulated dienes have the double bonds sharing a common atom as in a group of compounds called allenes.Conjugated dienes have conjugated double bonds separated by one single bond.Unconjugated dienes have the double bonds separated by two or more single bonds. They are usually less stable than isomeric conjugated dienes. This can also be known as an isolated diene.
Is benzene an alkene?
The simple answer is no. Benzene has intermediate bonds (3 electrons) instead of the alternating double bonds proposed by Kekule. The forth electron in the P orbital becomes delocalised to form two rings of electrons, both above and below the molecule.
