What is the bond angle (in degrees) in the structure of a benzene molecule?
This questions was previously asked in
SSC CGL 7th March 2020 Shift-3
Explanation:
- Benzene is a planar cyclic molecule with a hexagonal structure.
- The carbon atoms in benzene are sp2 hybridized.
- The correct bond angle in benzene is 120 degrees due to the trigonal planar geometry around each carbon atom.
- Option:4 - 120 degrees is correct for benzene.
- Option:1 - 60 degrees: This bond angle is typical for equilateral triangles, not benzene.
- Option:2 - 150 degrees: Unrelated to benzene's planar structure.
- Option:3 - 90 degrees: Common in square planar molecules, not benzene.
