Benzene Resonance with Pi-bonds

The orange is Carbon, the purple is the p-orbital, and the yellow dots are electrons.
This animation is gives a better idea of how resonance occurs in a benzene/1,3,5 cyclohexatriene/2,4,6 cyclohexatriene molecule. Sigma bonds / s-orbitals localize around each atom respectively; whereas, the Pi-bonds are formed when electrons in the p-orbitals merge. For more of a science lesson, go to

how does this even become C6H6 its confused me

[xplaygamer]

@y05077 This doesn't show how it becomes C6H6, but rather the representation of resonance via the electrons.

@rezaeijavan The graphics were created in 3D modeling and animation software and were originally intended to be a .gif not a "movie". I only rendered it as a video because it yielded a higher quality and faster load time this way.

does benzene have 6 or 12 electrons in its pi system?

[phj1990]

You should do some quantum mechanics. Electrons are not rotating in rings, they are delocalized in molecular orbitals.

Good Contest for 5 to 12 grades students.on attanolearn com

And you could win an iPad and Zapak goody bags.

Watch Summer is the best animation or watch attanolearn on youtube.
