<b>Abstract:</b> The L. Pauling’s resonance theory analyzed using
principle of quantum superposition, that is the principle of
superposition ”wave function”, which is the main positive principle of
quantum mechanics. The principle of quantum superposition is essentially
a basic property of the wave function. By example of benzene molecule is
shown that the principle of quantum superposition, and hence the quantum
mechanics in general is in insurmountable conflict with the resonance
theory.</div><div>


<b>Keywords:</b> L. Pauling’s resonance theory, benzene, the principle
of quantum superposition, quantum mechanics, the superposition of ”wave
