Why c-c bond are equal in benzene due to resonance?

The two resonance configuration is equally probable in benzene. i.e. all the c-c bonds have 50% probability of single bond and double bond. As a result all the bonds become equal.


Benzene is what kind of bond type?

Benzene has covalent bonds. Each of the six carbons in benzene is sp2 hybridized meaning the ring has both sigma bonds and pi bonds. Benzene is aromatic meaning its pi electrons are delocalized and form a pi system.


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.


What type of bonds in toluene?

The toluene molecule consists of a methyl group single-bonded to a benzene ring. The benzene ring consists six bonds that are modeled as resonance-stabilized single bonds. In other words, the shorthand representation shows alternating single and double bonds between the carbons in the rings, but experimentally all bonds are of equal strength somewhere between that of single and double bonds.


What is the length of carbon bonds in benzene?

1.44Å


How many pi bonds are in benzene?

6


How many sigma bonds in propene?

there are 6 sigma bonds in a benzene ring Correction: There are 6 sigma carbon-carbon bonds...but there are also 6 carbon-hydrogen sigma bonds. Thus there are twelve sigma bonds in a benzene ring.


Why is the enthalpy of formation of benzene is endothermic?

Because benzene is less stable than its constituent elements (C and H), thus it requires energy to break the bonds in the reactants' molecules and form new bonds in benzene. [APE network Tanzania]


Can benzene exist in the boat and chair confirmation?

no because unlike cyclohexane which has all single bonds, benzene alterates with double and single bonds. therefore it does not want to freely form the boat and chair conformations


How many single bonds are in the Viagra molecule?

I make it 36, as well as 6 double bonds and a benzene ring.


What is the standard enthalpy change for the reaction that represents breaking all the bonds in gaseous benzene?

5535kJ is the reaction that represents breaking all the bonds in gaseous benzene C6H6.


What 5 cc equal to?

It is equal to 1/2 of 10 cc.
