Abstract
For benzenoid hydrocarbons the distribution of pi-electrons amongst rings is characterized in the context of Randić’s mode of assignment attending to the different Kekulé structures. In particular the mean and mean deviation from the mean are considered, and the benzenoids which achieve maximum deviation are identified.
