Which among the following is not an example of alicyclic compound?
Correct answer: D. Acetic acid
- A. Cyclohexane
- B. Cyclohexene
- C. Tetrahydrofuran
- D. Acetic acid
Explanation
Acetic acid is the correct answer as it is not an alicyclic compound. Unlike alicyclic compounds that have a cyclic structure, acetic acid is a linear compound with a carboxylic acid group. On the other hand, Cyclohexane, Cyclohexene, and Tetrahydrofuran all have cyclic structures, aligning them with the characteristics of alicyclic compounds.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
