From what we know today, what do the two Kekulé structures for benzene really represent? August Kekulé was the first person to propose a viable structure for benzene in 1865. Structures that can be separated at low enough temperatures (near absolute zero). Structures that are in a state of rapid equilibrium. O Structures that are in resonance. Structures that are conjugated trienes (--C=C--C%3DC--C3C--).
