'''Benzene''' is an [[organic]] [[chemical compound]] with formula C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>6</sub>. It is sometimes abbreviated Ph-H. Benzene is a [[carcinogen]] which is a colorless and flammable liquid that has a pleasant, aromatic odor and a high [[melting point]].
A [[hydrocarbon]], benzene is present in small proportion in some crude oils and made commercially from petroleum by the catalytic reforming of naphthenes in petroleum naphtha. It is also made from coal in the manufacture of coke. Benzene is sed as a solvent in the manufacture of detergents, synthetic fibers, petrochemicals, and as a component of high-octane gasoline.
