  Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, aliphatic compounds are non-aromatic organic compounds, in which carbon atoms are joined together in straight or branched chains rather than in benzene rings.
Alicyclic compounds such as cycloalkanes are aliphatic compounds that have one or more non-aromatic cycles in their chemical structure.
Due to it being a non-aromatic compound, aliphatic petroleum solvent is used as a starter for barbecues.

 Azo compound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, azo compounds generally have a molecular formula of the form R-N=N-R', in which R and R' can be either aromatic or aliphatic.
Their colour originates from absorbance in the visible region of the spectrum due to the delocalization of electrons in the benzene and azo groups forming a conjugated system, whereby the N=N group is the chromophore.
Because of their instability, especially for aliphatic ones, care should be taken with the handling of azo compounds or an explosion may occur.

The chemical compound acetylene, also called ethyne, was discovered in 1836 by Edmund Davy, in England; its chemical formula is C2H2 and its structure is: Acetylene is a colorless and extremely flammable gas at standard temperature and pressure, with a melting point of -80.
An aliphatic compound is one that is not aromatic; i.e.
Aliphatic molecules consist, generally, of a backbone of carbon atoms and other atoms bound to this carbon chain - most frequently hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and various halides.

 aromatic compound
For this reason, the bonds in the aromatic ring are less reactive than ordinary double bonds; aromatic compounds tend to undergo ionic substitution (e.g., replacement of a hydrogen bonded to the ring with some other group) rather than addition (which would involve breaking one of the resonant bonds in the ring).
Presence of the six-membered benzene ring is not essential for aromatic compounds; for example, furan, a heterocyclic compound that has a five-membered ring that includes an oxygen atom, has aromatic properties, as does pyridine, a heterocyclic compound whose six-membered ring includes a nitrogen atom.

 ACETYLENE | | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
Acetylene (IUPAC name: ethyne) is the simplest alkyne hydrocarbon, consisting of two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms connected by a triple bond.
Because it contains a triple bond, acetylene is an unsaturated chemical compound.
As the molecule cannot twist around the triple bond, all four atoms lie in the same straight line, with bond angles of 180°.
