Q. In benzene, each carbon atom undergoes

COMEDKCOMEDK 2009Hydrocarbons

Solution:

Hydrogen atoms $\left(1 s^{1}\right)$ and carbon atoms $\left(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p_{x}^{1} 2 p_{y}^{1}\right)$ are present in benzene molecule. Each carbon atom uses the sp2 hybrids to form sigma bonds with two other carbons and one hydrogen atom
