Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction of benzene

For calculating vibrational modes two separate formulas are used for linear and nonlinear molecules.

Benzene is a non-linear molecule.

Vibrational mode for linear molecule

= 3N -5 


Vibrational mode for non linear molecule = 3N -6 


where N= no. of atoms

Note - As per guidelines we have to solve the first question is solved into the multiple questions Kindly repost the other part in next questions.
