noun. A hydrocarbon (C₆H₆) formed whenever organic bodies are subjected to destructive distillation at a high temperature, and obtained commercially from coal-tar.

noun. Same as benzin or benzine.

noun. A volatile, very inflammable liquid, C6H6, contained in the naphtha produced by the destructive distillation of coal, from which it is separated by fractional distillation. The name is sometimes applied also to the impure commercial product or benzole, and also, but rarely, to a similar mixed product of petroleum.

noun. a closed chain or ring, consisting of six carbon atoms, each with one hydrogen atom attached, regarded as the type from which the aromatic compounds are derived. This ring formula is provisionally accepted as representing the probable constitution of the benzene molecule, C6H6, and as the type on which its derivatives are formed.

noun. undefined

noun. An aromatic hydrocarbon of formula C6H6 whose structure consists of a ring of alternate single and double bonds.
