Benzene's structure can be clearly understood through its molecular arrangement. A benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring, with each carbon atom bonded to ...

Benzene is an aromatic compound, which is a retrofitted, non-odorous term for a family of molecules with a specific, stable structure in common.

Most organic chemical compounds contain loops of six carbon atoms called benzene rings. The nineteenth-century German chemist August Kekulé claimed to have pictured the ring structure of benzene ...
