1. Each carbon atom in henzene possess an unhybridised p-orbital containing one electron. The ateral overlap of their p-orbitais produces 3π- bond, six electrons of the p-orbitais over all the six carbon atoms and are said lo be delocalised.
2. Due to delocalisation, strong it-bond is formed which makes the molecule stable. Hence unlike alkenes and alkynes, benzene undergoes substitution reactions rather than addition reactions under normal conditions.
