Benzene is equal parts hydrogen and carbon, and has C6H6 as it molecular formula. It is actually a ring with the carbons in the middle and the hydrogen bonded one-to-one with the carbon atoms on the outside. Use the link below for more information and to see a "picture" that cannot be drawn here.

The chemical formula of Benzene is C6H6 .

It has 6 carbon and 6 hydrogen atoms and has a ring shaped structure.

Each hydrogen is bonded to a carbon and there are alternate single and double bonds present between carbon atoms.

Therefore, it has resonance between its atoms and it is a hybrid to two canonical forms.

Benzene is an alkene, with four carbon atoms. Alkene have a general formula CnH2n, therefore the formula of benzene is C4H8. Now empirical formula is the simplest ratio of a compounds constituent atoms. In this case the ratio is 4:8, which can be simplified to 1:2. Thus the empirical formula of Benzene is CH2. In fact if you note the general formula of an alkene you can clearly see that the empirical formula for all alkenes will indeed be the same.
