What is the structure of benzene, its distinguishing feature from other hydrocarbons?

The molecular formula of benzene: C6H6 (CnH2n-6). It is an aromatic compound made up of 6 carbons enclosed in a ring. The peculiarity of benzene is the alternation of double and single bonds in the molecule. This feature explains that all carbon atoms in the ring are in sp2 hybridization. Benzene is a rather inactive substance, reactions with it require additional conditions, since its molecule is in a stable position and does not want to give or receive electrons.
