Question

The carbon-carbon bond length in Benzene is

• A. in between $C_2H_6$ and $C_2H_2$
• B. in between $C_2H_4$ and $C_2H_2$
• C. in between $C_2H_6$ and $C_2H_4$
• D. same as in $C_2H_4$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

in between $C_2H_6$ and $C_2H_4$

Answer 2

The carbon-carbon bond length in benzene $(1.39 ?)$ is between that of $C - C (1.54 ?)$ and $C = C (1.34 ?)$ ie, in between that of $C _{2} H _{6}$ and $C _{2} H _{4}$
