Answer 2

Hexagonal structure of Benzene

Explanation:

• The structure of Benzene was confirmed by Kathleen Lonsdale.
• She was a famous crystallographer.
• In 1929, she used the X-ray diffraction method to find or confirm the structure of benzene.
• The X-ray crystallography determines the molecular and atomic masses of crystals. In this method, crystals cause diffraction of incident X-ray in a specific direction. By measuring the angle of diffraction and intensities of diffracted beams, she produced the 3-dimensional distribution of electrons within the electrons.
• Hence, the structure is confirmed using (a) X-rays
