Structure and Nomenclature of Benzene
Benzene is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H6. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. Benzene is mainly used as an intermediate in the production of chemicals such as plastics and pesticides.
Benzene has a structure that consists of a ring of six carbon atoms with one hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. The carbon atoms are connected to each other by single covalent bonds. The benzene molecule is also symmetrical, meaning that it has an equal number of protons and electrons and that it can be rotated so that the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the ring.
The name benzene is derived from the German word “benzol” meaning “coal tar.” Benzene was first isolated from coal tar in 1825 by Michael Faraday.
