Benzene molecule has total 7 planes of symmetry.
Answer:
7.00
Solution:
One plane of symmetry is the molecular plane itself (the plane of the ring bisects all C-H bonds): 
(At molecular plane)
Three planes pass through opposite carbon atoms (C1/C4, C2/C5, C3/C6), perpendicular to the molecular plane: 
Three more planes pass through the midpoints of opposite bonds, perpendicular to the molecular plane: 
Total = 1 + 3 + 3 = 7 planes of symmetry.
