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.

Why does bromine react with hexene but not benzene?
Adding halogens to alkene groups (X2) requires that the product adopt an anti configuration. Hexene will also lose its double bond upon bromination. Benzene is energetically unfavorable when a reaction attempts to break its double bond. The resonance benzene has makes it very stable, and thus very hard to break.
Is 1-nonene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
alkene
Is 1 nonene alkane alkene or alcohol?
Alkene
What type of molecule is 2-methylpentene?
branched alkene...viva la apex
Which is most reactive ethyne or benzene?
An alkene is more reactive than alkyne. as double bond can donate pair of electron. while in tripple bond the bond length is less than double bond. Alkkynes have more attractive forces than alkene. so alkene is more reactive.

Is turpentine an alkane or alkene?
It is an alkene
Why benzene undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction whereas alkenes undergoes addition reaction?
The cation formed upon addition of an electrophile to benzene is highly stabilized by resonance,whereas the cation formed to an alkene is stabilized by hyperconjugation. The loss of a proton in benzene is favourable due to the restoration of the cyclic pi-system.
What is the chemical formula of chlorobenzene?
Benzene is equal parts hydrogen and carbon, and has C6H6 as it molecular formula. It is actually a ring with the carbons in the middle and the hydrogen bonded one-to-one with the carbon atoms on the outside. Use the link below for more information and to see a "picture" that cannot be drawn here.
