C6H6.
C2H2 is ethyne, commonly called acetylene. C4H4 is propyne. Both these molecules are straight-chain molecules, because they're too short to bend around and form rings.
Benzene, C6H6, is a six-carbon ring with one hydrogen attached to each atom. There are three "double bonds" in the ring, but they are not fixed in place and tend to migrate around the ring, resulting in each pair of adjacent carbon atoms being linked by a "1 1/2" bond. The delocalization of the double bonds is what makes benzene so stable compared to other doubly-bound hydrocarbons.
C6H12 is hexane, a saturated straight-chain molecule.
Edit: Hey, nickky, you're lucky you didn't take organic chem with me! I had this old German guy for a teacher, and as a joke, on the first day of class, he told us, "If any of you ever draw a carbon atom vith five bonds, I vill take you outside, line you up against the vall, and choot you."

C6H6
its formula is:
CH=CH=CH=CH=CH=CH
actually its not open just to show u its a ring compond otherwise
