Benzene has a higher carbon content than other saturated hydrocarbons, like ethene. This invariably means it has a higher molar mass. When benzene burns, it forms elementary carbon, which causes it to burn with a sooty flame. Benzene is a member of the aromatic hydrocarbon family, which are nonpolar molecules that are usually colourless liquids or solids.
