Answer:

There are 12 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds in benzene

Explanation:

  • Molecular formula of benzene is [tex]C_{6}H_{6}[/tex].
  • Here six carbon atoms are joined together through alternative single and double bond forming a six membered cyclic ring.
  • Six hydrogen atoms are attached to six carbon atoms through a single bond.
  • A single bond represents a sigma bond. A double bond consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond.
  • In the Lewis structure of benzene, there are three C-C single bonds, three C=C double bonds and six C-H single bond.
  • Hence there are 12 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds in benzene
  • Lewis structure of benzene is given below
