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.
