Structure of benzene
Accepted Answer
Benzene has a planar, hexagonal structure with alternating single and double bonds between carbon atoms. Each carbon atom is sp2 hybridized, and the molecule is stabilized by resonance, meaning the electrons are delocalized across the entire ring. This delocalization is responsible for its unique properties.
