Question:
The carbon-carbon bond distance in benzene is
The carbon-carbon bond distance in benzene is
Updated On: Apr 14, 2024
- longer than a ${C - C}$ single bond
- longer than a ${C= C}$ double bond
- shorter than a ${C = C}$ double bond
- shorter than a ${C = C}$ triple bond
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$X$-ray data indicates that all the six ${C - C}$ bond lengths are of the same order (139 pm) which is intermediate between ${C = C}$ single bond (154 pm) and ${C - C}$ double bond (133 pm).

Properties of Benzene
Physical Properties:
- Benzene is a colorless liquid with a distinct odor.
- It's highly flammable and volatile.
- It is soluble in organic solvents while insoluble in water.
- Its boiling point is 80.5°C.
- It shows resonance.
Chemical Properties:
- Nitration: Nitration involves the reaction when benzene is reacted with nitric acid in the presence of sulphuric acid. The temperature then remains at 55°C and it results in the formation of nitrobenzene.
- Sulphonation: Benzene reacts with fuming sulphuric acid and results in the formation of benzene sulfonic acid in sulphonation reactions.
- Halogenation: Benzene reacts with halogen in the presence of the Lewis acid resulting in the formation of aryl halide. This reaction is known as halogenation.
- Friedel Crafts Acylation reaction: During the reaction of the benzene with an acyl halide, in presence of Lewis acid, it results in the formation of acyl benzene. This is called Friedel craft’s acylation reaction.
- Friedel Crafts Alkylation reaction: During the reaction of the benzene with an alkyl halide, in presence of Lewis acid like anhydrous Aluminium Chloride, alkyl benzene is formed. This is called Friedel craft’s alkylation reaction.
