A ring of six carbons that puzzled chemists for decades. This 21-slide interactive lesson on benzene structure takes pupils from first ideas to exam-style explanations, with 12 self-marking activities and nothing to prepare beforehand.

Teaching Benzene and Aromatic Compounds in GCSE extension and A-level Chemistry

Pupils describe the flat C₆H₆ ring, compare Kekulé’s model with the delocalised model and use bond-length evidence to explain benzene’s stability. They explain why benzene prefers substitution to addition, balance its combustion equation, and learn its industrial uses alongside its hazards as a carcinogen.

What Pupils Will Learn

Describe the structure of benzene, C₆H₆.
Explain what delocalised electrons are.
Explain why benzene prefers substitution to addition.
Describe how benzene burns.
State uses and hazards of aromatic compounds.
