Naming Aromatic Compounds - Aromatic compounds are those carbocyclic compounds that contain at least one benzene ring. The ring of six carbons in benzene or any of its derivatives is termed benzene ring or nucleus. A benzene ring may be represented in any of the follow..

These are lipids, which contain an inorganic or organic group in addition to fatty acids and glycerol. They are of the following 3 typ..

One of the indirect evidences for evolution comes from the study of homologous organs in organisms that exist today. Homologous organs are those, which have the same basic structure, but different functions. For example, an examination of the forelimb skelet..

Nitro compounds are characterized by the presence of nitro group (-NO 2 ) in their molecules. They may be aliphatic or aromatic compounds according to whether the nitro group is attached to alkyl or aryl groups. R - NO 2 Aliphatic nitro compoun..

These carbocylic compounds contain at east one benzene ring i.e., a ring of six carbons atoms with alternate double and single bonds. Aromatic compounds are called so because many of them possess a fragrant smell. Typical examples of aromatic compounds are given belo..

Aromatic compounds where the functional group is present in the sidechain of the ring are called sidechain substituted compounds. Sidechain substituted compounds are named as the phenyl derivatives of the corresponding aliphatic compounds..

Electronic Structure and Properties of Nitro Compounds - The structure of a nitro group can be represented as a resonance hybrid of two equivalent zwitter ionic polar structure..

Nomenclature of Nitro Compounds - Nitro compounds are named by using the prefix nitro before the name of parent hydrocarbon. Aliphatic nitro compounds are called nitroalkanes while aromatic nitro compounds are called nitroarenes. The position of nitro gr..
