All the carbon atoms in benzene are in sp2 state of hybridization, hence, all the six carbons and six hydrogen atoms attached with these carbon lie in a plane.
Pick out the incorrect statement from the following :
sp hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are at an angle of 180° with each other
sp2 hybrid orbitals are equivalent and bond angle between any two of them is 120°
sp3d2 hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are oriented towards corners of a regular octahedron
dsp2 hybrid orbitals are equivalent with a bond angle of 90° between the two atoms
