expain open chain or acyclic compounds
Answers
Answer:
In chemistry, an open-chain compound (also spelled as open chain compound) or acyclic compound (Greek prefix "α", without and "κύκλος", cycle) is a compound with a linear structure, rather than a cyclic one. ... Having no rings (aromatic or otherwise), all open-chain compounds are aliphatic.
Explanation:
These compounds are also known as aliphatic compounds, they have branched or straight chains.
☞ In attachment are some examples of Acyclic compounds.
These are cyclic compounds which contains carbon atoms connected to each other in a ring (homocyclic). When atoms other than carbon are also present then it is called as heterocyclic.
They are a special type of compounds which contain benzene and other ring related compounds. Similar to alicyclic, they can also have heteroatoms in the ring. Such compounds are called heterocyclic aromatic compounds.
