Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. Because it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon.

The Toutle River is a 17.2-mile (27.7 km) tributary of the Cowlitz River in the U.S. state of Washington. It rises in two forks merging near Toutle below Mount St. Helens and joins the Cowlitz near Castle Rock , 20 miles (32 km) upstream of the larger river's confluence with the Columbia River .
A small fraction of hydrocarbon found on earth, and all currently known hydrocarbon found on other planets and moons, is thought to be abiological. [15] Hydrocarbons such as ethylene, isoprene, and monoterpenes are emitted by living vegetation. [16] Some hydrocarbons also are widespread and abundant in the Solar System.
The North Fork Toutle River is a tributary of the Toutle River in southwestern Washington in the United States. The river has its headwaters near Spirit Lake, on the north side of Mount St. Helens, and flows 39 miles (63 km) to the Toutle River, [3] about 17 miles (27 km) upstream of its confluence with the Cowlitz River.

Line bond structure of benzene [5] Electron flow through p orbitals showing the aromatic nature of benzene [5] Benzene, C 6 H 6, is the least complex aromatic hydrocarbon, and it was the first one defined as such. [6] Its bonding nature was first recognized independently by Joseph Loschmidt and August Kekulé in the 19th century. [6]
Toluene (or methylbenzene) is a common chemical found in chemistry laboratories. An alkylbenzene is a chemical compound that contains a monocyclic aromatic ring attaching to one or more saturated hydrocarbon chains. [1] Alkylbenzenes are derivatives of benzene, in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by alkyl groups.
