Benzeeniä
Benzeeniä, often referred to as benzene in English, is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet odor. Benzeeniä is a highly flammable substance and is considered a carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer. It is classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon due to its ring structure, which consists of six carbon atoms bonded to six hydrogen atoms in a hexagonal arrangement. This structure exhibits a unique delocalized pi electron system, contributing to its stability and reactivity.
Historically, benzeeniä was first isolated in 1825 by Michael Faraday. Its structure was later elucidated by
Exposure to benzeeniä can occur through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Symptoms of acute exposure can
