Aromatic hydrocarbons have a cyclic structure with alternating single and double bonds. They exhibit resonance stabilization, planar geometry, and are often highly stable compared to aliphatic hydrocarbons. Aromatic compounds also tend to have distinct odors and are important in organic chemistry due to their unique reactivity and properties.
Aliphatic hydrocarbons have straight or branched carbon chains, while aromatic hydrocarbons contain a benzene ring or other aromatic rings in their structure. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are typically less stable and more reactive than aromatic hydrocarbons due to differences in bond types and energy. Aromatic hydrocarbons exhibit unique properties such as resonance stabilization and are often used as precursors for various organic compounds.
Gasoline is a mixture of both aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene are present in small amounts, while the majority of components are aliphatic hydrocarbons like octane, heptane, and pentane.
Alternating single and double bonds
No, benzaldehyde is not an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is an aromatic aldehyde with the chemical formula C6H5CHO. Aromatic hydrocarbons are compounds that contain one or more benzene rings. Benzaldehyde contains a benzene ring but also has a functional aldehyde group, making it an aromatic aldehyde.

Alternating single and double bonds
Aromatic hydrocarbons, specifically benzene and its derivatives, belong to the class of unsaturated hydrocarbons with a ring structure. These compounds exhibit special stability due to the delocalization of pi electrons within the ring, making them distinct from aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Phenol is toxic and corrosive.
