I am doing a chemistry assignment and I can't seem to find the symbol for a
benzene ring, where would I start to look?

If you're looking for a benzine ring character, it's Unicode 232C in the
Miscellaneous Technical group. You can insert it into a document using
Insert Symbol, or with Word 2002 and beyond, by typing 232c followed by
Alt-X. The character is included in the Arial Unicode MS font, but it's
pretty small and not really recognizable at a font size of less than 20.
The Code 2000 font includes a much better glyph that is recognizable even
at 12 points.

That's an interesting answer. I never knew it existed but there
is the usual ALT-x problem that a font switch may be necessary
and the font will stay as Arial Unicode MS after inserting the
character. No problem if you are using Arial of course. The best
way might be to insert it with autocorrect but, as you say, it
is rather impractically small. Another method might be to accept
the chemist's convention of using the Greek letter phi (for
phenyl).
I could search for it but perhaps you can give a quick answer
as to where you get the Code 2000 font?

When you search Code 2000 in Google the download page is the second hit,
but I suggest looking at this page first:

It's certainly an impressive undertaking and I'd never known how
much work had been done on Unicode fonts. It's more than I think
I'll ever want but thanks very much!
