Why is benzene extra ordinary stable through it contains three double bond? ​

Answer:

Resonance and delocalization of electrons leads to stability of any molecule . since, in benzene all the six π- electrons of the three double bonds are completely delocalized to form one lowest energy molecular orbital which surrounds all the carbon atoms of the ring , therefore it is extraordinarily stable.

hope it helps u...

benzene is  stable due to the resonance  effect and regular hexagon. delocalization of the p-orbital carbons on the sp2 hybridized carbons is what gives the aromatic qualities of benzene

Because of the aromaticity of benzene, the resulting molecule is planar in shape with each C-C bond being 1.39 Å in length and each bond angle being 120°.  it is important to note that there are no distinct single or double bonds within the benzene. Rather, the delocalization of the ring makes each count as one and a half bonds between the carbons which makes sense because experimentally we find that the actual bond length is somewhere in between a single and double bond. Finally, there are a total of six p-orbital electrons that form the stabilizing electron clouds above and below the aromatic ring.
