A) Naphthalene - It is a aromatic hydrocarbon, with two or more benzene rings attached.
Aromatic Hydrocarbons - Molecules or hydrocarbons formed by number of benzene rings and delocalized pie electrons.
B) Thiophene - It is a monocyclic heteroarene, with planar five membered ring.
C) Tropone - It is a non-benzenoid aromatic hydrocarbon, with ring of seven carbon and three conjugate groups of alkene and a single ketone group.
D) Piperidine - It is a heterocyclic amine, with a ring containing six members and five methylene bridges and a single amine bridge.
E) Isopentane - It is a branched chain alkane with five carbon ring.
F) Cyclohexane - It is a cycloalkane, and is six membered carbon ring.
