Benzene
Benzene, C6H6, is a clear, colorless, highly flammable, and volatile, liquid aromatic hydrocarbon with a gasoline-like odor. Benzene is the simplest aromatic compound, with a six carbon ring, a hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom, and alternating double bonds in the ring structure. It found naturally in fossil raw materials such as crude oil and coal tar.
