Why c c bonds in benzene are intermediate in length between single and double c c bonds?

Because in benzene molecule the pi electrons are delocalized (continuously changing their position within the hexagonal ring), so there are no fixed single and double bonds but are in mid of single and double bond character.

Why single and double bond length are same in benzene?
In reality, benzene does not contain alternating single and double bonds. It is more accurate to say that each carbon-carbon bond is in an intermediate state between a single and a double bond. Benzene therefore displays a property known as resonance.
Why in benzene c-c bond lengths is same?
It is in constant resonance. I.e. the double and single bonds constantly switch so fast, that you cannot give an accurate length of a bond.
What are the difference between single and double covalent bond?
In single covalent bond, one pair of electron is shared between two atoms (C-C). In a double covalent bond, two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms (C=C). Double bonds are shorter in length and more stronger than that of single bonds.
Does so4-2 have a dipole moment?
Yes. SO2 has a dipole moment of 1.62D SO3 has a dipole moment of 0. SO3, a trigonal molecule, has no dipole moment beacuse the bond dipoles cancel each other out. SO2 is bent and the bond dipoles do not cancel.
What is the trend between bond length and bond strength?
The shorter the length the stronger the bond.

What is the length of carbon bonds in benzene?
1.44Å
What is the single and double bond length between oxygen and phosphorus?
The single bond length between oxygen and phosphorus is 176 picometers but I am unsure of the double bond length.
Is a benzene ring stable?
Benzene has the structure C6H6 so should have double bonds but it does not instead it has a unsaturated electron above or below it. This is also known as an area of high electron density.
Why in benzene c-c bond lengths is same?
It is in constant resonance. I.e. the double and single bonds constantly switch so fast, that you cannot give an accurate length of a bond.
Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?
Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.
What is the difference between isomerism and tautomerism?
The structure changes in tautomers i.e. a proton leaving a carbon bond and attaching to a ketone group. Resonance is the concept that electron density is sometimes shared between multiple bonds. In a Lewis structure, this can be expressed as double bonds swapping between two oxygens or two different set bonding set ups have Oxygen or Nitrogen bearing a formal charge. For the actual measurement of bonds, the bond lengths between multiple resonating bonds tend to be an intermediate length between double and single bonds. This supports the idea that electron density is shared between several bonds in a resonating molecule. Benzene bonds are a good example of intermediate bond lengths due to resonance. In Tautomerism the alpha-hydrogen is shifted where as in Resonance the PI electrons are delocalised to loss more energy and to get stability.
Which compound contains a longer C-C bond benzene or ethene?
c-c bond length in benzene is 1.397 angston and that of ethene is 1.34 angston structure of benzene is a resonance hybrid, therefore all the c-c bond lengths are equal but different from those in alkanes,alkenes, and alkynes.
12 years old weigh about 120 pounds 5 feet 3 inches should use a junior or intermediate hockey stick?
You should most likely use an intermediate stick. Check the height with skates on (most people like the length of their stick between the height of ther nose and chin) and the flex. If the junior is either too short or contains too much flex for your preference then use an intermediate and vise versa with the opposite with the intermediate.
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.
When a question ask double the length what do you do?
Times the length by two
