Benzene

Hey guys!!!today im gonna talk about benzene.as you see in the picture below,benzene is a ring like structure.Melting point is 5.5 to 6.0degreee celcius(so srry bout the spelling).



 

 Its molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. Because its molecules contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon.

Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, and is one of the most basic petrochemicals. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the second annulene , a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is sometimes abbreviated ph–H. Benzene is a colorless and inflammable liquid with a sweet smell. It is mainly used as a precursor to heavy chemicals, which are produced on a billion kilogram scale. Because it has a high octane number, it is an important component of gasoline, composing a few percent of its mass.Here's a pic of benzene bottle:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the second [n]-annulene ,a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is sometimes abbreviated phenyl–H. Benzene is a colorless and inflammable liquid with a sweet smell. It is mainly used as a precursor to heavy chemicals, such as ethylbenzene and cumene, which are produced on a billion kilogram scale. Because it has a high octane number, it is an important component of gasoline, composing a few percent of its mass. Most non-industrial applications have been limited by benzene's carcinogenity.

The formulae for benzene is c6h6.Thanks guys for seeing this post.for now its goodbye!!!!!!
