| Abstract: | In this section of Resonance, we invite readers to pose questions likely to be raised in a classroom situation. We may suggest strategies for dealing with them, or invite responses, or both. “Classroom” is equally a forum for raising broader issues and sharing personal experiences and viewpoints on matters related to teaching and learning science. Benzene is a special molecule. There is hardly any other molecule that has captured the imagination of generations of chemists. It was isolated first in 1825 byMichael Faraday but took more than 100 years before the actual structure was nailed down. This article intends to highlight one crucial discovery: the actual determination of the crystal structure of hexamethylbenzenewhich solved the riddle about the structure of benzene conclusively. |
