Which of the following statement is not true for benzene :

AIt is a planar molecule.
BAll C-C bond lengths are equal.
CIts resonance energy is 36 Kcal/mole.
DIt contains three localized $$\pi$$ electrons.
Correct Answer

Solution

Benzene is $$C_6H_6$$, it contains three localized $$\pi$$ bonds (so it contains six localized electrons) where all C-C bond lengths are equal and also its a planner molecule(as it is aromatic).
And its resonance energy is 36 Kcal/mole.
