JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.1. Organic chemistry Nomenclature of organic compounds
The number of \(sp^2\) hybrid orbitals in a molecule of benzene is
- A \(24\)
- B \(6\)
- C \(12\)
- D \(18\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(18\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Each carbon atom is \(sp^{2}\) hybridized Therefore each carbon has \(3 sp^{2}\) hybrid orbitals. Hence total \(\mathrm{sp}^{2}\) hybrid orbitals are \(18 .\)
