Benzene's structure can be clearly understood through its molecular arrangement. A benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring, with each carbon atom bonded to one ...

Scientists have used computing power and clever modeling to solve a 200-year-old chemistry and math puzzle. For all these years, the question at play has been how to plot the electron structure of a ...

Most organic chemical compounds contain loops of six carbon atoms called benzene rings. The nineteenth-century German chemist August Kekulé claimed to have pictured the ring structure of benzene after ...

Earlier this month, Molecule of the Week brought you the venerable and extremely hazardous molecule benzene. This week’s molecule has one of the structures that was originally proposed for benzene: ...
