Basic equation for xylene is C8H10.

Xylene is di-methyl benzene and comes in three different forms (isomers) :

1,2-dimethylbenzene also called orthoxylene sometime shortened to o-xylene

1,3-dimethylbenzene also called metaxylene sometimes shortened to m-xylene

and

1,4-dimethylbenzene also called paraxylene sometimes shortened to p-xylene
