Answer:
- Atoms in complex compounds, which are made up of several atomically bound collectively, may be organized in rings or a linear pattern. Molecules in which the atoms form rings include heterocyclic and homo cyclic chemicals. The cyclic portion of the name indicates their ring structure. The prefix hetero- (from Greek: different) or homo- (from Greek: same) denotes the atoms that make up the molecule.
- Molecules containing rings made up entirely of carbon atoms are known as homo cyclic compounds.
- An illustration is a benzene. One hydrogen atom is connected to each of the six carbon atoms in the connection in order of molecule benzene, which consists of six carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring.
- A very volatile and hazardous substance called benzene is occasionally added to washing solutions. One typical homo cyclic substance is phenol.
- Phenol is a benzene ring with one hydrogen replaced by a hydroxide group. It is occasionally used as a disinfectant. One homo cyclic compound is cyclohexane.
