Q. Cyclobutadiene (below) is like benzene in that it has alternating single and double bonds in a ring. However, its bonds are not same length, double bonds being shorter than the single bonds; the molecule is rectangular, not square. Explain why it would be incorrect to write resonance structures as shown.

Q. A cyclic hydrocarbon having carbon-carbon single bonds as well as carbon-carbon double bonds in its molecule is:
(a) C₆H₁₂
(b) C₆H₁₄
(c) C₆H₆
(d) C₆H₁₀

Q. Which of the following molecules has the shortest carbon-carbon single bond length?

Q. Cyclic hydrocarbon

^{'} A^{'}

has all the carbon and hydrogen atoms in a single plane. All the carbon carbon bonds have the same length, less than

1.54 A^{\circ}

, but more than

1.34 A^{\circ}

. The bond angle will be

Q. Ordinarily the barrier to rotation about a carbon-carbon double bond is quite high but in compound P double bond between two rings was observed by NMR to have a rotational energy barrier of only about 20 cal/mol, showing that it has lot of single bond character.

The reason for this is
