Chemical Compound

Chemical compounds are a member of the group of substances which are cyclic hydrocarbons having one or more double bonds. In this instance, one of the carbon atoms in the cyclohexene ring has a phenyl group (C6H5) linked to it. The six-membered cyclohexene ring that makes up the structure of 1-phenyl-1-cyclohexene has one of its carbon atoms linked to a phenyl group. By swapping out one of the hydrogen atoms on the cyclohexene ring, the phenyl group, which is a benzene ring (C6H5), is joined to the ring. Chemical compounds demonstrate properties of both cyclohexenes and aromatic compounds.
