Some of the most common, flammable and volatile compounds are aliphatic hydrocarbons. Part of this class of compounds is probably somewhat familiar to you. Does the term hydrocarbon ring any bells?
The term hydrocarbon means that the compound is made of--you guessed it--hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded together through the sharing of electrons. Carbon-based compounds are often referred to as organic compounds.
The term aliphatic stems from a Greek word meaning fat or oil. It's thought that some of the first aliphatic compounds discovered came from fats or oil. In our case, aliphatic refers to hydrocarbon compounds that are straight chained, branched or non-aromatic.
