Benzene $\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}\right)$ consists of a six-membered ring of carbon atoms with one hydrogen bonded to each carbon. Draw Lewis structures for benzene, including resonance structures.
Benzene, $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}$, is a cyclic molecule in which all six carbon atoms are joined in a ring, with each carbon also bonded to one hydrogen. Draw an electron-dot structure for benzene and give the bond angles around each carbon. Draw a three-dimensional representation of the molecule.
