Les hydrocarbones et dérivés (HCs) [...] représentent une très grande partie des composés organiques, puisqu'ils sont uniquement composés d'hydrogène et de carbone. Leur diversité provient de la différence du type de liaison entre les atomes (droite,cyclique). Ils peuvent également être saturés ou insaturés. [On trouve] les HCs aliphatiques [qui] ont des chaînes droites ou cycliques, où l'atome de carbone est relié à 3 ou 4 autres atomes (alcanes ou alcène)[et] les HCs aromatiques, basés sur la liaison cyclique du benzène. 3, record 2, French, - hydrocarbure%20cyclique%20aromatique
