Answer:

What Are Aromatic Compounds?

Aromatic compounds might sound complicated, but a hint about their origin is in the name. The word aromatic includes the prefix ''aroma'', meaning smell. True to its name, aromatic compounds were originally named for the smells they produced, and chances are you're already familiar with some of them.

Many delicious smelling compounds like vanilla, cinnamon, or some of the scents from flowers are created by aromatic compounds. But, aromatic compounds aren't just limited to good smelling molecules. Aromatic compounds are a large class of molecules that include a planar ring of atoms attached with alternating single and double bonds. The alternating bonds allow the atoms in the ring to share electrons in a process called resonance, a defining feature of aromatic compounds.

Aromatic compounds are used to make plastics, synthetic fabrics like nylon, packaging materials like styrene, and explosives. They are also used in manufacturing.

The most commonly known aromatic compound is benzene, a six carbon ring with three double bonds that experience resonance. Benzene is a major component of gasoline and is used in the manufacture of rubber, plastics, drugs, pesticides, and many other commonly used products.
