Currently over twentymillion compounds have been reported in thechemical literature; about 90% of them areorganic, ie they contain carbon. The remainingcompounds are called inorganic and are formedfrom the other elements, of which there areabout 100. That carbon so dominatescompound formation is a result of the fact that itis almost unique in its ability to form longchains with other carbon atoms.
draw it using Lewis structures. However, the actual bonding in such a ring is considerably different from that in alkenes and, consequently, many of the chemical properties are different also. Therefore, we place these compounds in a separate family. By the way, the term aromatic as used here has nothing to do with fragrance.
