Is benzene a metalloid?
No, it is a compound.
Is benezene a compound?
Yes, Benzene is a compound of carbon and hydrogen.
Structure of benzene best described?
This is a tough question. Virtually every Organic chemistry teacher will say 2....the two Kekule resonance structures. However....that is incorrect. Benzene also has 4 other minor resonance forms. Mathematical calculations, as well as quantum mechanics have shown conclusively that benzene is not 2 sole resonance canonicals....but the Dewar structures as well. My proof is this....the bond order is not 1.5, as predicted....but rather 1.463. Hope this helps. Dr Jim Romano CEO Romano Scientific CEO Orgoman.com

Is benzene an element or a compound?
Benzene (C6H6), simplest organic, aromatic hydrocarbon and parent compound of numerous important aromatic compounds. Benzene is a colourless liquid with a characteristic odour and is primarily used in the production of polystyrene. It is highly toxic and is a known carcinogen; exposure to it may cause leukemia. As a result, there are strict controls on benzene emissions.
