Benzene ring has alternate (C–C) single and double bonds, yet all C–C bonds are of equal length. Why? |
|
Answer» the carbon-carbon bonds in the benzene molecule are of the same length, and it is known that a single BOND is longer than a double bond. In addition, the bond length (the DISTANCE between the TWO BONDED atoms) in benzene is greater than a double bond, but SHORTER than a single bond |
