Arenes
Arenes are aromatic organic hydrocarbons, meaning they have a ring structure as their base. They have areas of delocalised electrons and
The most simple and common of these is Benzene, which has the chemical formula C6H6and a planar ring structure. It has three double and three single covalent bonds as represented in diagrams, but like all other arenes based on its structure, it has areas of delocalised electrons between the core 6 carbon atoms.
