Benzene 3D Molecular Model — CAS 71-43-2

Benzene (C6H6, CAS 71-43-2) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Every atom carries its engraved element symbol (C, H, O, N...), so no colour key is needed. Look at the skeleton first: Benzene contains one aromatic 6-membered ring, and students can trace 12 bonds (6 single and 6 aromatic). Quick starter: ask students to count the engraved symbols (6 C + 6 H) and check that they add up to 12 atoms and the formula C6H6. A good fit for lessons on aromaticity and delocalised electrons. Want a comparison? The most similar structure in the MolGod.org collection is pyridine (CAS 110-86-1). It has no hydrogen-bond donors or acceptors (computed), a useful contrast with alcohols and amines when you discuss intermolecular forces. Free for education: MolGod.org publishes engraved molecular models for teachers, students and schools. Teachers: use it as a hands-on starter before drawing the structural formula on the board.

STL mesh: 157,530 triangles, closed (watertight) single solid. Coordinates in ångström (STL stores no unit) — scale the model deliberately in your slicer. Names in other languages: Benzol (de); benzène (fr); benzeen (nl); benzen (pl); 苯 (zh).
