  2. Naphthalene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphthalene

    A naphthalene molecule can be viewed as the fusion of a pair of benzene rings. (In organic chemistry, rings are fused if they share two or more atoms.) As such, naphthalene is classified as a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). [19] The eight carbon atoms that are not shared by the two rings carry one hydrogen atom each.

  3. Saturated and unsaturated compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_and_unsaturated...

    alkyne (unsaturated) vs alkane (saturated) arene (unsaturated) vs cycloalkane (saturated) For organic compounds containing heteroatoms (other than C and H), the list of unsaturated groups is long but some common types are: carbonyl, e.g. ketones, aldehydes, esters, carboxylic acids (unsaturated) vs alcohol or ether (saturated) nitrile ...

  4. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic...

    A Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings.Most are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic matter— by engine exhaust fumes, tobacco, incinerators, in roasted meats and cereals, [1] or when biomass burns at lower temperatures as in forest fires.

  5. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    Saturated hydrocarbons are notable for their inertness. Unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes and aromatic compounds) react more readily, by means of substitution, addition, polymerization. At higher temperatures they undergo dehydrogenation, oxidation and combustion. [2]

  6. Cycloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkane

    In organic chemistry, the cycloalkanes (also called naphthenes, but distinct from naphthalene) are the monocyclic saturated hydrocarbons. [1] In other words, a cycloalkane consists only of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a structure containing a single ring (possibly with side chains), and all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single.

  7. Saturate, aromatic, resin and asphaltene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturate,_Aromatic,_Resin...

    The saturate fraction consists of nonpolar material including linear, branched, and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons . Aromatics, which contain one or more aromatic rings, are slightly more polarizable. The remaining two fractions, resins and asphaltenes, have polar substituents. The distinction between the two is that asphaltenes are insoluble in ...

  9. 1-Naphthylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Naphthylamine

    The sulfonic acid derivatives of 1-naphthylamine are used for the preparation of azo dye.These compounds possess the important property of dyeing unmordanted cotton.. An important derivative is naphthionic acid (1-aminonaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid), which is produced by heating 1-naphthylamine and sulfuric acid to 170–180 °C in the presence of crystallized oxalic acid.
