What of the following is true of benzene? Select all the correct answers (more than one may be selected). Select one or more: The benzene ring is a distorted hexagon. The carbon-carbon bonds of benzene are alternately short and long around the ring. Benzene molecule exists in a rapid equilibrium between two Kekule structures I and II. Benzene tends to undergo addition rather than substitution reactions. Benzene has the stability expected for cyclohexatriene. Benzene molecule can be described as a resonance superposition of two equivalent Kekule structures I and II. All of the hydrogen atoms of benzene are equivalent.
