Total number of sp2 hybrid orbitals in Benzene are

Question

Total number of sp2 hybrid orbitals in Benzene are (A) 6 (B) 12 (C) 18 (D) 24

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In the benzene ring all the carbon atoms undergo sp2 hybridisation. In C6H6 , each 'C' atoms has 3-sp2 hybrid orbitals. Hence, 6× 3=18sp2 hybrid orbitals present in the benzene ring.

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