"Benzene posses double bond though it is stable". Explain. |
|
Answer» Solution :Benzene possess double bond though it is stable. (i) According to Kekule, benzene has two resnating structures.  (ii) Benzene has STABILITY of 36.0 k Cal according to resonance. So, in benzene there is no localization of doubly bonded electrons.  (iii) In benzene no there double bonds but according to molecular orbital theory, delocalization of electron above and below the plane of ATOM is POSSIBLE.  (iv) Benzene is aromatic. So from above all four REASONS, in reality benzene has no stabilize double bond in benzene and hence benzene is stable. |
