### Understanding the Double-Sided Arrow in Benzene Structures**Question:** What is the meaning of the double-sided arrow (↔) connecting the two structures of benzene?**Options:**- It indicates that the second structure can be obtained as a mirror image of the first one.- It indicates that electrons in benzene rapidly change their positions corresponding to the two structures.- It indicates that benzene exists in a single form, which is an average of the two structures.- It indicates a chemical equilibrium between the two distinct structures.- It indicates that there are two independent coexisting forms of benzene. Consider the molecules of furan and benzene. The dominant Lewis structure of furan and the two resonance structures of benzene are shown below:**Furan:**The diagram shows a five-membered ring with one oxygen atom and four carbon atoms. The oxygen atom has two lone pairs. There are two double bonds in the ring structure involving carbon atoms.**Benzene:**The diagram shows a six-membered carbon ring with alternating double bonds, represented in two resonance structures. Each carbon is bonded to a single hydrogen atom. An arrow between the structures indicates resonance, demonstrating the delocalization of electrons within the ring.

Resonating structures are hypothetical structures.

What is the meaning of the double-sided arrow () connecting the two structures of benzene? It indicates that the second structure can be obtained as a mirror image of the first one. It indicates that electrons in benzene rapidly change their positions corresponding to the two structures. It indicates that benzene exists in a single form, which is an average of the two structures. It indicates a chemical equilibrium between the two distinct structures. It indicates that there are two independent coexisting forms of benzene.
