What are Homocyclic alicyclic compounds?
Answers
Answer:
Homocyclic or carbocyclic : These are the compounds having a ring or rings of carbon atoms only in the molecule. The carbocyclic or homocyclic compounds may again be divided into two types: Alicyclic compounds: These are the compounds which contain rings of three or more carbon atoms.
Homocyclic:-
If we talk about organic chemistry Homocyclic compounds are the type of cyclic compounds, unlike heterocyclic, in which the ring structure is formed by the atoms. This ring structure is made up of the same elements’ atoms and this element is the carbon. This is called as Carbocyclic compounds. No element other than carbon can exist in this compound. Although in inorganic chemistry homocyclic compounds have ring structures which have been formed by diff-diff elements’ atom like boron, sulphur, phosphorous and so on. The best examples of this compound are naphthalene, tetracene, benzene and so on.
Alicyclic Compound:-
The alicyclic compound is that kind of compound which is aliphatic and cyclic too. This compound has one or more than one all-carbon rings that can be saturated or unsaturated. The bonds which exist in pair of atoms can be any type of bond like single, double or triple.
