Give the number of sigma bonds and pi bonds for benzene, c6h6.

There are 12 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds in benzene

Explanation:

Molecular formula of benzene is .Here six carbon atoms are joined together through alternative single and double bond forming a six membered cyclic ring.Six hydrogen atoms are attached to six carbon atoms through a single bond.A single bond represents a sigma bond. A double bond consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond.In the Lewis structure of benzene, there are three C-C single bonds, three C=C double bonds and six C-H single bond.Hence there are 12 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds in benzeneLewis structure of benzene is given below
