In the resonance hybrid of benzene, all carbon-carbon bond lengths are equal to \AA. This value is: — Aromatic Hydrocarbons Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

In benzene, due to the delocalization of $\pi$ electrons (resonance), every carbon-carbon bond acquires a partial double bond character. As a result, the bond length ($1.39$ \AA) falls between a standard single bond ($1.54$ \AA) and a standard double bond ($1.34$ \AA).
