Bond length is the measurable distance between two covalently bonded atoms. This measurable distance is an average, as the distance between atoms bounded together can change. Electrostatic forces, where opposites attract, contribute to the strength of a bond.
The actual bond length between each pair of adjacent carbons in the ring is 140 picometers. Thus, each pair of adjacent carbon atoms in benzene has the character of one and a half bonds rather than one or two bonds. To help illustrate this point, benzene is often drawn as a cyclohexane ring with a circle in the middle, which helps show the delocalization of the electrons in the double bonds.
