Question

Benzene has how many number of covalent bonds

Answer 1

there are 9 C-C covalent bond and 6 C-H covalent bonds ... hence there are 15 covalent bonds present in the benzene molecule

Answer 2

Explanation:

A covalent bond is a bond formed by sharing of electrons. Formula of benzene is $C_{6}H_{6}$, that is, all the carbons of benzene are $sp^{2}$ hybridized.

Also, the valency of carbon is 4 and each carbon is forming two double bonds and two single bonds

Hence, there are three double bonds and nine single bonds in a benzene molecule. Therefore, in total there are 15 covalent bonds.
