A chief examiner talks about benzene
Rod Beavons is chief examiner for the non-Nuffield Edexcel course. He also runs an interesting web site. He explains why he prefers the Kekulé structure of benzene but includes in the discussion a useful summary with pictures of delocalisation in a benzene molecule. Another page gives a bit of background to the work of Kekulé.
