NEET Chemistry Aromatic Hydrocarbons MCQ Question
A diagram shows a hexagonal ring with alternating double bonds, and two rings of electron clouds above and below the plane of the ring. What does the delocalization of π electrons in this structure primarily contribute to?
Increased stability of the compound
Formation of stronger sigma bonds
Decreased reactivity towards electrophiles
Enhanced color of the compound
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The delocalized π electrons in benzene contribute to its increased stability, as they are attracted more strongly by the nuclei, reducing energy.
