AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS Flashcards
also known as arenes
AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS
It is included under the three classifications of unsaturated hydrocarbons that consists of:
alkenes
alkynes
________________
name the 4 aliphatic hydrocarbons
Alkanes
Alkenes
Alkynes
aromatic hydrocarbons
Aromatic means:
Sweet
Pleasant odor
name the Simplest aromatic hydrocarbon
BENZENE
_____________ is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared among more than two atoms.
Delocalized bond
This is the reason why aromatic hydrocarbons are resistant to addition reaction
Delocalized bond
Highly unsaturated carbon ring system in which both localized and delocalized bonds are present.
Aromatic ring system
Replacement of one or more _____________ on benzene with other groups, produces benzene derivatives
hydrogen atom
Replacement of one or more _______________ on benzene with other groups, produces benzene derivatives
HYDROGEN ATOM
In this reversed approach, the benzene ring attachment is called _____________
phenyl group
