Q. Total number of $sp^{2}$ hybrid orbitals in Benzene are

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

In the benzene ring all the carbon atoms undergo $sp^{2}$ hybridisation. In $C_{6}H_{6}$ , each $\_{}^{'}C_{}^{'}$ atoms has $3-sp^{2}$ hybrid orbitals. Hence, $6\times 3=18sp^{2}$ hybrid orbitals present in the benzene ring.
