bentseenirenkaan
Bentseenirenkaan, or the benzene ring, is a six-membered carbon ring that serves as the core structure for many aromatic compounds. It has the formula C6H6 and consists of six carbon atoms arranged in a planar ring with alternating single and double bonds. In most compounds, each carbon is bonded to one hydrogen, though substituents can replace hydrogens, yielding a wide range of derivatives.
The ring is characterized by sp2 hybridized carbon atoms and a delocalized system of pi electrons. The
As a structural motif, the benzene ring appears in countless compounds and is collectively referred to as
