The delocalized cloud of π electrons in benzene is formed by the overlap of 6<u> p-orbitals</u>.

So, option B is correct one.

In the case of hydrocarbons, delocalisation occurs in benzene rings , where a hexagon of six carbon atoms has decalized electrons spread over the whole ring.

All of the carbon atoms in the benzene rings are $sp^{2}$ orbitals around the ring produces a framework of six sigma bonds, while the unhybridized p-orbitals which are perpendicular to this plane over in side-to-side fashion to form three pi-bonds.

Complete the three words. The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has g....................... , l.............

Answer:Gained, Lost , Shared

Explanation:

The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has GAINED.................. , LOST....................... , or SHARED........................ , in forming a compound.

Oxidation state is defined as the the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses when forming a chemical bond with another atom.

----To form an ionic bond for example in NaCl, Na, with 11 electrons and one valence electron in its outermost shell donates or lose that valence electron to Chlorine with 17 electron and 7 in its outermost shell. Therefore Sodium, Na acquires the +1 oxidaton state to become stable and Chlorine acquires the -1 oxidation state to become stable forming the NaCl compound.

To form a covalent compound, There must be sharing of electrons between atoms.For example, in PCl3, The phosphorous atom with atomic number 15 shares its three unpaired electrons with the single valence electrons of three chlorine atoms. making the four molecules to attain stability with Phosphorous having +3 and the chlorine atoms having -1 oxidation states
