This is a tough question. Virtually every Organic chemistry teacher will say 2....the two Kekule resonance structures. However....that is incorrect. Benzene also has 4 other minor resonance forms. Mathematical calculations, as well as quantum mechanics have shown conclusively that benzene is not 2 sole resonance canonicals....but the Dewar structures as well. My proof is this....the bond order is not 1.5, as predicted....but rather 1.463. Hope this helps. Dr Jim Romano CEO Romano Scientific CEO Orgoman.com

What is huckel structure of benzene?
Huckel's rule does not explain the structure of a molecules it simply describes that a molecule is aromatic or not, the kekule's structure for benzene agrees with Huckel's rule.

What is the isolation of benzene?
Separation of benzene from a mixture is isolation of benzene.
How do you convert benzene into propyl benzene?
benzene with 2~chloropropane in presence of aluminiumchloride
What is pH of benzene?
Benzene has not a pH.

Why is aspirin more reactive than benzene?
Benzene has a stable structure. Aspirin has an carboxylic group with delocalized electrons. So aspirin is more reactive than benzene.
What is a benzenoid?
A benzenoid is a compound with an electronic structure analogous to that of benzene.
Benzene ring has three pi-bonds in it but is still quite stable.explain?
Benzene has a property called resonance. Because of this, the three pi-bonds in benzene act as a rather delocalized single pi-structure. So, benzene does not actually have 3 distinct pi-bonds. This pi-structure is stable, which explains why benzene is more stable than it would be if it had 3 pi-bonds.
Is benzene a best conductor of heat?
no
Name of compound n6h6 in structure symmetrical to BENZENE?
when in orgnic benzene the Carbon is replaced with Nitrogen is called Borozene which is Inorganic Benzene. A Ali Sudais jan Research Scholar Nuclear medicine Inorganic Chemistry
What is meant by reduction of benzene?
Benzene accepts protons and electrons in it's structure while some other element/molecule is oxidized and donates those protons and electrons to benzene. That is all reduction is; gaining of H + and electrons.
