Benzene nucleus, Benzene ring (Chem.), 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

constitution of the benzene molecule, C6H6, and as the
type on which its derivatives are formed.
