### Chemical Reaction: Chlorination of Benzene

#### Reaction Equation:
- **Reactants:** Benzene (`C6H6`, represented by a hexagon with a circle inside) + Chlorine (`Cl2`)
- **Conditions:** The reaction requires ultraviolet (UV) light or heat.
- **Products:** Chlorobenzene (not shown in the image).

#### Explanation:
- **Benzene Structure:** Benzene is depicted as a hexagon with a circle inside, indicating the delocalized electrons within the aromatic ring.
- **Reactants and Conditions:** When benzene is exposed to chlorine in the presence of UV light or heat, a substitution reaction occurs, replacing one hydrogen atom on the benzene ring with a chlorine atom.
  
This diagram illustrates the setup for chlorination of benzene, a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry, highlighting the aromatic nature of benzene and the conditions necessary for the reaction to occur.
