Chemistry-Aromatic Hydrocarbons
NEET Chemistry Aromatic Hydrocarbons MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11
Consider a hexagonal ring diagram where the p orbitals of each carbon atom overlap with adjacent carbon atoms forming a delocalised electron cloud represented by two doughnut-shaped electron clouds above and below the ring. Which feature of aromatic hydrocarbons does this diagram illustrate?
A
Equal bond lengths in the ring
B
Presence of alternating single and double bonds
C
Localized π electrons between carbon atoms
D
Formation of cycloalkanes
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The diagram illustrates the equal probability of p orbital overlap and delocalization of π electrons, leading to equal bond lengths in aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene.
