An aromatic bicyclic hydrocarbon, C10H8; an acene containing two fused benzene rings
a white crystalline strong-smelling hydrocarbon made from coal tar or petroleum and used in organic synthesis and as a fumigant in mothballs
It is the type and basis of a large number of derivatives among organic compounds
A white crystalline aromatic hydrocarbon, C10H8, analogous to benzene, and obtained by the distillation of certain bituminous materials, such as the heavy oil of coal tar
An aromatic bicyclic hydrocarbon, C{10}H{8}; an acene containing two fused benzene rings
a type of oil used for fuel or for making chemicals. Simplest of the fused (condensed) ring hydrocarbons, an aromatic compound composed of two benzene rings sharing two adjacent carbon atoms (C10H8). It is a white solid at room temperature, very volatile, with a characteristic odour. Naphthalene is an important raw material in the manufacture of dyes and synthetic resins and has been used as a moth repellent
{i} crystalline hydrocarbon derived from coal tar used in making dye and moth repellant (Chemistry)
