Chemistry in a Nutshell

Can you beat early chemists in figuring out the structure of benzene? It only took air pressures 25x higher than Earth's, super hot temperatures, X-rays, and more to figure out the structure of benzene.

Watch the whole playlist. Can you solve the puzzle before Kekule? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvUW25kBaMMvs5nsG1VUQA0wsP9LGEQha
