What are aromatic hydrocarbons?
There are much type of hydrocarbons and its there characteristic each of the hydrocarbons. An aromatic hydrocarbon is one type of hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of chemical substances which are characterized by having molecular structures which are called benzene rings. Many aromatic hydrocarbons are toxic, and they are unfortunately among the most widespread of organic pollutants. A hydrocarbon is any chemical compound which contains only hydrogen and carbon. In fact, not all aromatic hydrocarbons smell; the scent was thought to be linked to the benzene ring, but it is actually caused by impurities but the name as stuck, as often happens in science even after new information on a topic has emerged, to minimize confusion. Each carbon atom has four electrons; two electrons link up with neighbouring carbon atoms, while one goes to a hydrogen atom. The fourth is what is known as a delocalized electron, meaning that it is not directly involved with a specific atom. Benzene
Aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of chemical substances which are characterized by having molecular structures which are called benzene rings. The chemically simplest aromatic hydrocarbon is benzene, and the structure of this hydrocarbon lent its name to the benzene ring. Many aromatic hydrocarbons are toxic, and they are unfortunately among the most widespread of organic pollutants.
