Aromatic groups are planar (flat) ring structures, and are widespread in nature. We will learn more about the structure and reactions of aromatic groups next semester. Aromatics. When the carbon of an alkane is bonded to one or more halogens, the group is referred to as a alkyl halide or haloalkane.

16 gru 2021 · Functional groups are the most reactive parts in organic compounds, and determine the major properties of compounds. The summary of common functional groups is included in Table 2.2. Knowing the functional groups well is one of the fundamental skills required for this course.
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.
Look at Table 3.1, which lists many of the common functional groups and gives simple examples of their occurrence. Some functional groups have only carbon–carbon double or triple bonds; others have halogen atoms; and still others contain oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur.
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.
FUNCTIONAL GROUPS ARE GROUPS OF ATOMS IN ORGANIC MOLECULES THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF THOSE MOLECULES. IN THE GENERAL FORMULAE BELOW, ‘R’ REPRESENTS A HYDROCARBON GROUP OR HYDROGEN, AND ‘X’ REPRESENTS ANY HALOGEN ATOM. HYDROCARBONS. SIMPLE OXYGEN HETEROATOMICS. HALOGEN HETEROATOMICS. CARBONYL COMPOUNDS.
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.
