Dear suraj,

A planar molecule has all its atoms in one plane ( plane as in a 2 D figure like sheet of paper)..in benzene the C atoms are sp2 hybridised...each carbon has 2p electrons, each carbon donates an electron into the delocalised ring above and below the benzene ring. It is the side-on overlap of p-orbitals that produces the pi clouds.if we now observe the nucleus of the various atoms in benzene....they can be made to lie in the same plane..so the benzene is planar.
