Part C

In the benzene molecule, carbon atomsform a ring with alternating single and double bonds in betweeneach of them. Each carbon atom forms one ? bond with one carbon atom and one ? and one ?bond with another. The ? bonding electrons are delocalized over the entiremolecule. Thus, benzene is a resonance hybrid of two equivalentstructures, and the single and double bonds oscillate from oneposition to the other.
Calculate the bond order for one carbon-carbon bond in the benzenemolecule, taking ? and ? bonding into consideration.

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula $\rm C_6H_6$ . In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with alternating single and double bonds connecting them. Thus, each individual carbon atom forms one $\sigma$ bond with another carbon atom and one $\sigma$ and one $\pi$ bond with another carbon atom. Each carbon atom also forms one $\sigma$ bond with a hydrogen atom.
