Benzene does not undergo these reaction due to the aromaticity of the ring. The conjugated, cyclic double bond system provides about 38 kcal/mol of stabilization to the molecule. For addition to occur, it would have to disrupt the aromatic nature of the ring and this is very difficult.
Benzene has 3 pi bonds. These pi bonds are formed by the overlapping of p orbitals in the carbon atoms that make up the benzene ring.
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.
It's because of resonance, which is the delocalization of electrons (the pi electrons). This delocalization lowers the potential energy of the benzene and thus renders in more stable.
No, Benzene does not conduct electricity. Contrary to graphite which has a delocalized pi electron which enables current to pass, benzene's dolocalized pi electron cloud is in the benzene ring, and is unable to partake in any electrical conductivity activity.
The C-C bonds in benzene are equal because of delocalization of pi electrons in a ring structure. This results in a resonance hybrid where each carbon atom shares the pi electrons equally, making all C-C bonds in benzene the same length and strength.
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.

No, benzene is always a neutral compound.
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.
Because all the six positions of benzene are equivalent due to pi electronic cloud (instead of isolated pi bonds).
It's because of resonance, which is the delocalization of electrons (the pi electrons). This delocalization lowers the potential energy of the benzene and thus renders in more stable.
Yes, the pi bonding electrons in benzene are delocalized over the entire carbon ring. This leads to a more stable structure and contributes to the aromaticity of benzene.
i think its C6H6i just googled benzene and that was the first linkthe strucure of benzene with carbon showing sp2 hybirdization of orbitals with pi electron cloud on aboove and below the plane , it is C6H6

C6H6, also known as benzene, consists of 3 pi bonds. These pi bonds are located in the delocalized pi electron cloud above and below the ring of carbon atoms.
