(gcide) | Benzene \Ben"zene\, n. [From Benzoin.] (Chem.)
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

product of petroleum.

ring, consisting of six carbon atoms, each with one
hydrogen atom attached, regarded as the type from which

type on which its derivatives are formed.
