Aromatic hydrocarbons belong to the class of organic compounds that constitute one or more rings around which the pi electrons exist in a delocalized state. This delocalization of electrons cannot be exhibited by the straight-chain hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are also termed arenes and many of these compounds give off a pleasant smell.
The ring present in these aromatic compounds is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. A ring structure that has six carbon atoms in it is called a benzene ring. There are some compounds that are benzene based such as phenol, toluene, etc. and some depict aromatic properties but are not benzene-based, they are named furan, purine, pyrimidine, etc.
