The six carbon atoms of benzene are of:

AOne type
Correct Answer
BTwo types
CThree types
DFour types

Solution

In benzene, all C-C bonds are of equal length and bond length is $$1.39A^{0}$$ due to delocalization of bonds. All carbon atoms in benzene ring are $$sp^2$$ hybridised and are in one plane. Thus, all carbon atoms in benzene are of the same type.
