Question

identity the structure of benzene. select the correct answer below:

Explanation:

Benzene has a cyclic - planar structure with six carbon atoms. Each carbon is bonded to one hydrogen atom. The most common representation shows a hexagon with a circle inside, indicating the delocalized pi - electrons. The first structure is a Kekulé structure which is also a valid resonance form, and the second structure with a circle in the hexagon represents the delocalized nature of the pi - electrons more accurately. The third structure has a methyl and a chlorine substituent and is not benzene.

Answer:

both A and B
