Benzene
Benzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet smell, commonly used as a solvent and in the production of various chemicals, including plastics and synthetic fibers. It has a unique ring structure made up of six carbon atoms, with alternating double bonds, which makes it stable and gives it special properties. However, benzene is also known to be harmful to health; prolonged exposure can lead to serious health issues, including cancer. Due to its widespread use, safety measures are important to minimize risks associated with handling benzene.
