The benzene molecule has the molecular formula C6H6
.
Sometimes it is represented as a molecule with three doble bonds and three single bonds. But that does not count for the fact that experimentally all the bonds are equal: same length and same strength.
The six carbon bonds are equal because there is not preference for the valence electrons to attach to one or othe neighbor carbon, so at the electrons delocalize inside the molecules and form a uniform cloud around the six carbon atoms.
This is the effect named resonance and thas is why the molecule of benzene instead of being represented with some three single bonds and three doble bonds is represented with a circle (a ring) inside the molecule which represents an intermediate kind of bond shares by all the carbon atoms.
This structure was discovered (literally dreames as some texts tell) by Kekulé.

Explanation:
Answer:
Half life is the time taken by a radio active isotope to reduce by half of its original amount. Radium-226 has a half life of 1602 years meaning that it would take 1602 years for a mass of radium to reduce by half.
Number of half lives in 9612 years = 9612/1602 = 6 half lives
New mass = Original mass x (1/2)n where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore, New mass= 500 x (1/2)∧6
= 500 x 0.015625
= 7.8125 g
Hence the mass of radium after 9612 years will be 7.8125 grams.

,Ca 2+
have the same number of electrons. Their radii would be different because of their different nuclear charges. The cation with the greater positive charge will have a smaller radius because of the greater attraction of the electrons to the nucleus. Anion with the greater negative charge will have the larger radius. In this case, the net repulsion of the electrons will outweigh the nuclear charge and the ion will expand in size. Hence the correct order will be Ca
2+ <K + <Ar<Cl − <S 2−
