AXmEn classification for benzene (C6H6)?
How can I determine the AXmEn classification (molecular shape) for a molecule that contains more than one central atom, particularly when these atoms are arranged in a ring or form a carbon skeleton? Additionally, how do I ascertain the electron-pair geometry for similar molecules? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

The system is intended for molecules where you have one central atom and it describes the geometry of the boning arrangement around that central atom. In the case of benzene you can’t apply this to the whole molecule but you can apply it to the individual carbon atoms in the ring each of which has a trigonal planar arrangement of bonds.
