Aromatic Hydrocarbon Aromatic hydrocarbons, also called aromatic compounds, are compounds that contain benzene as a part of their structure. Benzene is a cyclic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H6
Isomers - Stereoisomers Isomers are compounds of the same molecular formula but different molecular structures. There are four important types of isomers. Structural isomers’ atoms are bound in different orders while stereoisomers are bound in the same order but oriented differently. Geometric isomers involve different arrangement about a double bond. Optical isomers involve four groups in varying arrangements around a central atom.
Functional Groups Functional groups are groups of atoms in hydrocarbons which are responsible for their chemical properties. The types of functional groups include halocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aminoss, aldehydes, ketones, carboxyllic acids and esters. These functional groups are bound to a hydrocarbon structure denoted R. Â
