Q51 / 180 · COMEDK 2019 · Chemistry

In benzene, each carbon atom undergoes

  • A
    $sp$ hybridisation
  • Correct answer
    B
    $s p^{2}$ 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
Figure
Each carbon have three o-bonds. $\therefore$ Hybridisation $=s p^{2}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
