What is the bond order of benzene?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the bond order of benzene, which refers to the type and strength of the bonds in the benzene molecule. It seeks to understand the nature of the bonding in benzene, particularly with its resonance structure and delocalized electrons.

Answer

1.5

The final answer is 1.5

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 1.5

More Information

In benzene (C6H6), the electrons are delocalized over the six carbon atoms, resulting in a bond order that is intermediate between a single and a double bond, which is 1.5.

Tips

A common mistake is to assume that the bond order in benzene can be a whole number, but due to resonance, it is fractional.
