Why is benzene extra ordinarily stable though it contains three double bonds?

Options

  1. ABenzene is stable because the three double bonds are actually weaker than typical double bonds, making it less
  2. BBenzene is stable because the presence of three double bonds provides it with additional bonding energy, makin
  3. CBenzene is stable due to no resonance between the three double bonds, which constantly prevents the formation
  4. DBenzene is stable because of resonance of the double bonds in the ring are i.e. a conjugated system, allowing

Correct answer

D. Benzene is stable because of resonance of the double bonds in the ring are i.e. a conjugated system, allowing

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D) Benzene is stable because of resonance of the double bonds in the ring are i.e. a conjugated system, allowing for delocalization of pi electrons, which results in a more stable structure.
