Benzene (HSC SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Rings with delocalised electrons

Electrons free to move, not fixed in specific bonds

$\mathrm{C_6H_6}$

Flat, hexagonal

$120°$

All equal, between single & double bond length

Delocalised electron system around ring

Substitution (preserves ring structure)
