👉 In chemistry, a benzoid is a type of molecular structure that has a geometry similar to that of a benzene ring. The term "benzoid" is derived from the chemical formula C6H5NH2 (methane), which is commonly used as a starting material for the synthesis of various organic compounds. The benzoid structure allows for the formation of aromatic rings with a carbon atom bonded to three or four adjacent hydrogen atoms, creating a network of molecules that can be arranged in a
