====== Benzene structure ======

The  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene|benzene]] molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring with 1 hydrogen atom attached to each. Because it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon.

Although the compound has been very extensively studied since its first isolation in 1825, its molecular dynamics   - especially at temperatures below 77K when it becomes a solid - are extremely complex and the underlying atomic mechanics are for the most part still obscure.

>Benzene is one of the most prototypical molecules in organic chemistry: it is the elemental  unit  of  all  aromatic  compounds  and  the π-bonding  of  its  carbon  atoms serves  as  the  quintessential  example  of  electron  delocalization.  __The  molecular dynamics of the C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>6</sub> molecule are extremely complex and not yet fully understood" __\\ \\ //Source :// [[https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1703/1703.01719.pdf|Indirect observation of molecular disassociation in solid benzene at low temperatures]] //arXiv,// 2017
