CHEMSOL Toluene is a colorless transparent volatile liquid with aromatic odor and has a methyl group attached to benzene. CHEMSOL Xylene is a colorless transparent volatile liquid with a directional odor and has two methyl groups attached to benzene. Xylene has three isomers, olso-, meta- and para-xylene, depending on the position of the methylene group
