an illustration of a molecule model with a ring structure against a yellow background. The model consists of gray, green, blue, and red spheres connected by white lines representing chemical bonds. In the center, there is a hexagonal ring formed by six gray spheres, with a green sphere attached to one corner and a blue sphere attached to another. Additionally, a red sphere is connected to one of the gray spheres by two white lines, suggesting a double bond.
