DO U KNOW HOW THE BENZENE RING FORMED?
For years, the german chemist, friedrich august von strandonitz tried to figure out how the atoms were arranged in the molecule of a very important chemical, benzene. no arrangement seemed to explain benzene's properties. In 1865, he was on a horse drawn bus and fell into a semi-doze in which(according to his own account) he saw atoms whirling in a dance; suddenly, the tall end of one chain attached itself to the head end and formed a spinning ring. the "benzene ring" is just about the best-known and most commonly used structure in the symbolic formulas of organic chemistry.
