Give the molecular formula and structural formula of Benzene.

Answer: Molecular formula of benzene: C₆H₆.

Structural formula of benzene:

              H
              |
              C
           //    \
     H -  C        C  - H
          |        ||
     H -  C        C  - H
           \\    /
              C
              |
              H

Benzene is a ring (cyclic) compound of six carbon atoms arranged in a regular hexagon, with three alternate single and double bonds in the ring and one hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. (The structure is also commonly represented as a hexagon with a circle inside, since the double-bond electrons are spread over the whole ring.) Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon.
