← ScienceWhich consequence regarding benzene's stability arise from cyclic delocalization?
A)Increased reactivity with electrophiles
B)Lower activation energy for hydrogenation
C)Stabilization via resonance energy✓
D)Higher volatility at room temperature
💡 Explanation
Stabilization via resonance energy results from delocalization decreasing total energy due to electrons occupying more space around the carbon ring. Electron delocalization undergoes orbital overlap. Therefore, benzene is stabilized, rather than destabilized, due to lowering overall electronic energy.
