Question

What is the value of resonance energy of benzene?

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference, being 143.1 kJ (34.2 kcal), is the empirical resonance energy of benzene. Because 1,3-cyclohexadiene also has a small delocalization energy (7.6 kJ or 1.8 kcal/mol) the net resonance energy, relative to the localized cyclohexatriene, is a bit higher: 151 kJ or 36 kcal/mol.

Answer 2

●The resonance energy of benzene is 36Kcal/mol.
