Aromatic Hydrocarbon ?? :S:S

17-03-2010 8:01pm#1im studing leaving cert chemistry.:( At the moment we studying feul and heats of reaction. Im able to understand most of it so far but i havent a clue about aromatic hydrocarbon...aliphatic compounds.....benzene ring...
can any one give me a simplified account of it please:), id be really grateful!
thanks:D0

A hydrocarbon is a compound with the elemens carbon and hydrogen only. Then a aliphatic compound is one which DOES NOT have a benzene ring. An aromatic hydrocarbon does have a benzene ring. Oh, a benzene ring is a diamond like hydocarbon (C6H6). This is probably better explained in your book aye?XxXSarahXxX wrote: »im studing leaving cert chemistry.:( At the moment we studying feul and heats of reaction.

It's usually better explained in your book. As said, a hydrocarbon is a compound consisting of hydrogen and carbon. It burns to give carbon and water.XxXSarahXxX wrote: »im studing leaving cert chemistry.:( At the moment we studying feul and heats of reaction.

An aromatic compound has the benzene ring. Basically, the compound is shaped like a diamond. They are very combustible (have a high octane number). The reason they are called aromatic compounds is because mostly the smell rather nice.
An aliphatic compound is kinda the opposite of an aromatic compound really! They are straight chained hydrocarbons.
I hope the clears the basics up, and more questions feel free to ask...0 -

ok, thanks:D
am then with the benzene ring.... theres stuff n d book about d lenghts of bonds.... and that the valence electron arent just localised to the double bonds but are belongind to the hole molecule????????...
any way you can explain this in simplier terms or do i js have to go and learn it0 -
