Q. The bond order of individual carbon-carbon bonds in benzene is

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

Benzene is a resonance hybrid.

Bond order $=\frac{\text { Total no. of bonds between two atoms }}{\text { Total no. of resonating structures }}$

$C - C$ bond order in benzene $=\frac{2+1}{2}=1.5$
