Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Arenes are a class of organic compounds that contain one or more aromatic rings, and they are also known as aromatic hydrocarbons. The term 'arene' is often used to refer specifically to aromatic hydrocarbons that contain only one aromatic ring, whereas the term 'polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons' (PAHs) is used for compounds that contain two or more aromatic rings. Some common examples of arenes include benzene, toluene, and naphthalene.
