← ScienceWhich mechanism promotes electron delocalization upon benzene ring formation?
A)Hybrid orbital formation✓
B)Resonance stabilization energy
C)Van der Waals interactions
D)London dispersion forces
💡 Explanation
Formation of benzene involves sp2 hybridization, a hybrid orbital formation; because atomic orbitals mix, this creates delocalized pi orbitals spread above and below the ring, therefore stabilizing structure, rather than remaining localized atomic orbitals.
