hidrocarburo alifático
Sign in to saveAlso known as aliphatic compounds, aliphatics
class of chemical compounds without aromatic ring
An aliphatic compound is a type of chemical substance made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms arranged in chains or rings, but without the special ring structure called an aromatic ring that gives some chemicals their distinctive properties. These compounds are important because they make up a large portion of organic chemicals we encounter, from the fats in food to the components of plastics and oils.

Los hidrocarburos alifáticos son compuestos orgánicos constituidos por carbono e hidrógeno cuyo carácter no es aromático. Los compuestos alifáticos acíclicos más sencillos son los alcanos, agrupaciones hidrocarbonadas lineales de fórmula CH3-(CH2)n-CH3. Si la cadena alifática se cierra formando un anillo, el compuesto se denomina hidrocarburo alicíclico o hidrocarburo alifático cíclico. De estos, los más sencillos son los cicloalcanos.
