Q51 / 180 · COMEDK 2019 · Chemistry
In benzene, each carbon atom undergoes
- A$sp$ hybridisation
- Correct answerB$s p^{2}$ hybridisation
- C$s p^{3}$ hybridisation
- D$s p^{2}$ hybridisation
Solution
In benzene, each carbon have $s p^{2}$ hybridisation. The structure of benzene is

Each carbon have three o-bonds. $\therefore$ Hybridisation $=s p^{2}$

Each carbon have three o-bonds. $\therefore$ Hybridisation $=s p^{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
