The aromatic group is exemplified by benzene (which used to be a commonly used solvent in the organic lab, but which was shown to be carcinogenic), and naphthalene, a compound with a distinctive ‘mothball’ smell. Aromatic groups are planar (flat) ring structures, and are widespread in nature.
Today, an aromatic compound is any compound that contains a benzene ring or has certain benzene-like properties (but not necessarily a strong aroma). You can recognize the aromatic compounds in this text by the presence of one or more benzene rings in their structure.
Functional Groups with Carbon–Carbon Multiple Bonds. Alkenes, alkynes, and arenes (aromatic compounds) all contain carbon–carbon multiple bonds. Alkenes have a double bond, alkynes have a triple bond, and arenes have alternating double and single bonds in a six-membered ring of carbon atoms.

Benzene rings (C 6 H 6) are a special type of hydrocarbon. Historically, because of the special aroma (sweet smell) that benzene and its derivatives release, they are called aromatic compounds.
