An analytical chemist measures carbon-carbon distances in various rings. Which molecule shows uniform bond lengths that are intermediate between single and double bonds?
Q1. An analytical chemist measures carbon-carbon distances in various rings. Which molecule shows uniform bond lengths that are intermediate between single and double bonds?
Answer: Benzene
Explanation: Benzene has intermediate C-C bond lengths (1.397 A) due to resonance; Ethane is tempting but has a much longer single bond.
