Geochemistry
Aromatic compounds are a class of organic molecules characterized by having one or more aromatic rings, which contain alternating double and single bonds, resulting in a stable structure due to resonance. These compounds are significant in petroleum geochemistry because they can influence the properties and behavior of petroleum products, as well as serve as indicators of specific geological processes during hydrocarbon formation.
congrats on reading the definition of aromatic compounds. now let's actually learn it.
