Describe the shape of and bonding in a molecule of benzine. Explain why benzene doesn't readily undergo reactions.

Flat 6-membered ring with 6 carbons. Each carbon in bonded two 1 hydrogen and 2 other carbons. Because a carbon must always have 4 bonds, there is a delocalised fourth electron on each carbon, which moves ar...
