Which is not evidence used to support the delocalisation model for benzene?

Answer»

Benzene has 6 equal length bonds, not alternating long/short bonds.
Benzene does not undergo electrophilic addition with HYDROGEN bromide.
Benzene shows IR absorption at AROUND 3000 `cm^(-1)`
The hydrogenation of benzene produces less energy than expected.

Solution :This is TRUE for all hydrocarbons as this corresponds to the region for the C-H absorption. It does not SUPPORT any particular model for benzene.
