What are the 3 unusual things about benzene

A

It’s got delocalised structure

The molecule is planar

All 6 of its C-C bonds have the same length intermediate between single and double

Q

Describe the evidence that shows benzene stability

A

Cyclohexane when hydrogenated the enthaply change is 120

Benzene which is a triene should evolve 3 times this so the enthaply change should be 360

However it’s 208
360-208 = 152 showing benzene has a lower energy and this stability is due to delocalised ring structure
