The electron dot structure of benzene is:
It can be drawn by calculating the valence electron present in the molecule.
The chemical formula of benzene is C6H6 and its structure is as shown above:
Let us calculate the valence electrons present in benzene: H6 = 1*6 = 6 C6 = 4*6 = 24
Each dot in the electron dot structure of benzene represents electrons involved in bond formation.
Two electrons correspond to the single bond and four electrons correspond to the double bond.

The electrons must be placed in such a way that the atoms involved in the molecules must have 8 electrons in the valence shell.
