Which of the following statements about the structure of benzene is not true? Select one: a. All statements are NOT TRUE. b. Benzene has three short double bonds alternating with three longer single bonds. c. The electrons in the pi bonds are delocalized around the ring. d. Benzene is planar. e. Benzene has six pi electrons.
Which of the following statements about benzene is FALSE? There are two resonance structures of equivalent energy. The molecule is planar and each carbon is at a corner of a regular hexagon. The typical mechanism by which reactions occur is by addition. Each carbon in the benzene ring is sp2 hybridized. The bond angles are all 120° and all carbon carbon bonds have the same length.
