AROM Therapy Abbreviation

Aromatic

Cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons identified by one or more benzene rings or by chemical behaviour similar to benzene. Aromatics are usually more reactive and have higher solvency than paraffin and naphthenes. Aromatics readily undergo electrophilic substitution; that is, they react to add other active molecular groups, such as nitrates, sulphonates, etc. Aromatics are used extensively as petrochemical building blocks.
