Illustrated Glossary of Organic Chemistry - Term

Here's a breakdown of the structure and the bonds:

  • The benzene ring (C₆H₆) consists of 6 carbon atoms and 5 hydrogen atoms, with alternating single and double bonds between the carbons, forming a conjugated π-system.
  • The bonds within the benzene ring are labeled as σ (sigma) and π (pi) bonds.
    • Each C−C bond in the benzene ring consists of one σ bond (forming the backbone of the ring).
    • The alternating double bonds in the benzene ring result in π bonds due to the overlap of unhybridized p orbitals of the carbon atoms.
  • The methyl group (−CH₃) attached to the benzene ring consists of 3 C−H σ bonds.

Bond Analysis:

  • The benzene ring has 9 σ bonds in total, including the C−C single bonds and the C−H bonds.
  • The benzene ring also contains 3 π bonds, which are formed from the conjugation of the C−C double bonds in the ring.
