The benzene molecule is not considered as a triene because:
- Benzene is a cyclic compound.
- In benzene molecule, all the bonds have the same length, so we cannot decide the positions.
- Moreover, all the π- electrons are delocalised uniformly in the ring making it impossible to consider it a triene.
- Apart from these, there are many other differences between benzene and alkenes.
- Hence, we cannot consider benzene molecule as a triene.
