What are aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons?
Answers
Answer:
Aliphatic compounds include alkanes,alkenes, or alkynes, or their derivatives. Example ----alkane, alkene, alkyne, alkadiene, haloalkanes, etc. Alicyclic Compounds. An organic compound in which carbon atoms are linked to form one or more rings. Aromatic compounds are excluded because of their special properties.
Answer:
Aliphatic are straight chains. Alicyclic are closed chains/rings
Explanation:
aliphatic are classified based on the type of bond between carbons (alkane for single bond, alkene for double and alkynes are for triple. Alicyclic are classified based on presence of only carbon & hydrogen only which are called Homocyclic. Presence of other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. are classified as Heterocyclic. Homocyclic can be further classified as aromatic and alicyclic. the former have atleast 1 benzene ring(with aroma) or no benzene ring (but have aroma) and the later have single bonded carbon cycles. Now youre fully thorough with organic compound classification!
