Benzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, primarily derived from petrochemical processes. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of six carbon atoms arranged in a ring, with alternating double bonds. Benzene is widely used as a precursor in the production of various chemicals, including styrene, phenol, and aniline, making it a fundamental building block in the chemicals industry.
