Chapter 9, Problem 9.11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The parities of the six πorbital of benzene have to be detected.

Concept Introduction:

Hybridization:  When the atomic orbitals mix to form new atomic orbitals, the new orbitals have the same total electron capacity as the old ones. The properties and energies of the new, hybridized orbitals are an 'average' of the original unhybridized orbitals.

sp2hybridization: This concept  has intermixing of one s-orbitals and two p-orbitals to give three identical hybrid orbitals is known as sp2 or trigonal hybridization".

sp3hybridization: This concept  has intermixing of one s-orbitals and three p-orbitals to give four identical hybrid orbitals is known as sp3 or tetragonal hybridization".
