Question

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula $\rm C_6H_6$ . In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with alternating single and double bonds connecting them. Thus, each individual carbon atom forms one $\sigma$ bond with another carbon atom and one $\sigma$ and one $\pi$ bond with another carbon atom. Each carbon atom also forms one $\sigma$ bond with a hydrogen atom.
