  2. Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Most aliphatic compounds are flammable, allowing the use of hydrocarbons as fuel, such as methane in natural gas for stoves or heating; butane in torches and lighters; various aliphatic (as well as aromatic) hydrocarbons in liquid transportation fuels like petrol/gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel; and other uses such as ethyne (acetylene) in welding.

  3. Aromatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_compound

    Examples of non-benzene compounds with aromatic properties are furan, a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring that includes a single oxygen atom, and pyridine, a heterocyclic compound with a six-membered ring containing one nitrogen atom. Hydrocarbons without an aromatic ring are called aliphatic. Approximately half of compounds known ...

  4. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    Aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as arenes, which are hydrocarbons that have at least one aromatic ring. 10% of total nonmethane organic carbon emission are aromatic hydrocarbons from the exhaust of gasoline-powered vehicles. [4] The term 'aliphatic' refers to non-aromatic hydrocarbons.

  5. Category:Aromatic compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aromatic_compounds

    Aromatic compounds, also known as arenes or aromatics, are chemical compounds that contain conjugated planar ring systems with delocalized pi electron clouds instead of discrete alternating single and double bonds. Typical aromatic compounds are benzene and toluene. They should satisfy Hückel's rule.

  6. Category:Aromatic hydrocarbons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aromatic_hydrocarbons

    An aromatic hydrocarbon or arene is a hydrocarbon, the molecular structure of which incorporates one or more planar sets of six carbon atoms that are connected by delocalised electrons, the simplest of which is benzene.

  7. Category:Hydrocarbons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hydrocarbons

    In chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. They all consist of carbon backbone and atoms of hydrogen attached to that backbone, also see aliphatic hydrocarbons.

  8. Hydrocarbon mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon_mixtures

    A hydrocarbon is any chemical compound that consists only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). They all contain a carbon frame, and have hydrogen atoms attached to the frame. Often the term is used as a shortened form of the term aliphatic hydrocarbon. Most hydrocarbons are combustible. [2]

  9. List of esters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_esters

    An ester of carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (organic or inorganic) and R′ stands for organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (−R).
