Chlorobenzene

Chlorobenzene is a chemical compound made up of a benzene ring, which is a six-carbon structure, with one chlorine atom attached. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant smell and is used primarily as a solvent and in the production of various chemicals, including pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Chlorobenzene is not very soluble in water but can dissolve many organic compounds. While it has important industrial uses, exposure can be harmful, and it is considered a hazardous substance, so safety measures are necessary when handling it.
