Title: A compound that has a benzene ring and a Halogen (Br), is the compound considered an Aromatic or Halogen? Post by: rlcdiver on Sep 19, 2012 It was brought to my attention that a compound cannot be an aromatic and a halogen, which makes sense.
So which "name" takes priority? I must determine if a benzene ring that has the element "Br" attached, is aliphatic, aromatic, halide, saturated and/or unsaturated. The compound may have more then one term. So I believe it is unsaturated for sure. Title: A compound that has a benzene ring and a Halogen (Br), is the compound considered an Aromatic or Halogen? Post by: illestchemist on Sep 19, 2012 aromatic because of the benzene ring.
i think you'd only call it a halogen if it was just the diatomic Br2. and you're right-it's unsaturated because there are double bonds in the ring:) Title: A compound that has a benzene ring and a Halogen (Br), is the compound considered an Aromatic or Halogen?
