(a)
Interpretation:
The bond angle should be identified for H-C-C and C-C-C bonds in benzene.
Concept Introduction:
The bond angles are the angles created in between atoms during the formation of bonds. The bonds angles can be identified with VSEPR model and Lewis structure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The shape of benzene molecule should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure which represents valence electrons of atoms that forms bonds with other atoms is very important to identify shape of molecule. VSEPR model explains about the bond angles of joined atoms also supports Lewis model for understanding structure and shape of molecule.
