Cyclopropyl benzene.

C6H6.

Phenol.

1,3,5-Trinitrotoluene.

(Provide the correct drawing of o-bromonitrobenzene.)

Aromatic hydrocarbons are compounds that contain a benzene ring or similar structure, characterized by their stability and unique chemical properties.

The benzene ring is a fundamental structure in organic chemistry, serving as a building block for many compounds and influencing their chemical behavior.

Phenol is a hydroxyl-substituted derivative of benzene, containing an -OH group, while benzene is a simple aromatic hydrocarbon.

Nitrobenzene.

Nitration is the introduction of a nitro group (-NO2) into an aromatic compound, typically using nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
