Kekule’s Dream

Written by

Kekule was searching for the structure of Benzene.
He supposedly had a dream where a snake’s head tried to bite its tail. It was an “Aha” moment for him. He figured out the bonding of the Carbon and Hydrogen molecules.
Some use this example as the power of the subconscious mind in solving problems.

The structure of benzene is indeed a significant discovery in the history of science.
