Ring Structure of Benzene
The ring structure of benzene is known as a planar six-membered ring of carbon atoms, with each carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms. However, the representation of ring structure of benzene is not entirely accurate due to the electrons in the benzene ring are delocalized. Here’s a diagram:
Structure of Benzene
Structure of Benzene is a closed ring with an alternate single and double bond. Benzene is a naturally occurring substance produced by volcanoes and forest fires and is the simplest organic, aromatic hydrocarbon. The word Benzene is historically derived from gum benzoin, also known as ‘Benjamin’. Gum Benzoin is known as aromatic benzoin. English scientist Michael Faraday discovered benzene in illuminating gas. Mitscherlich, a German chemist, gave it the name benzene in 1833.
