Benzene is a planar molecule.

Recorded sources
4 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that benzene is a planar molecule?

Yes. A reference encyclopedia entry and two organic chemistry study guides state directly that the benzene molecule is planar, with a planar hexagonal ring and 120° bond angles. A surface-science study also finds a planar C6 ring for benzene adsorbed on rhodium.
