Meaning and Origin:
Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound with a molecular formula of C6H6. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet smell. Benzene is a key component of gasoline and is used in the production of plastics, dyes, and other chemicals.
The term "benzene" was first used by August Wilhelm Hofmann in 1845. Hofmann named the compound after benzoin, a resin that is obtained from the styrax tree. Benzoin has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and perfume-making.
The word "benzoe" is derived from the Persian phrase "lubān jāwī," which means "frankincense of Java." The name "Java" refers to the island of Java in Indonesia, where benzoin is collected from the styrax tree.
