Benzene is an aromatic compound that is the parent compound of other aromatic molecules. It has a trigonal planar structure composed of six carbons arranged in a ring with alternating single and double bonds that cannot be represented by a single structural formula due to resonance between different structures of higher energy. Benzene is naturally found in volcanoes, forest fires, natural gas and crude oil.

2. Benzene
Benzene is the parent compound in a group known as aromatic compounds.
They are found mostly in nature
The shape is trigonal planar
Resonance: state attributed to certain molecules of having a structure that cannot
adequately be represented by a single structural formula but it is composed of 2 or
more structures of higher energy
The carbon skeleton for benzene is 6 carbons in a ring

3. Benzene
Benzene is shaped in a ring with 6
carbons

5. Benzene fun fact
Benzene is naturally found in volcanoes
and forest fires
It's also a natural part of gas and crude
oil

6. Conclusion
We learned benzene is a parent compound for aromatic compounds.
We learned it has 6 carbons
Contains single and double bonds
The most important thing I learned is that benzene has resonance
