Electrophilic hydration is the addition of water to an alkene with one carbon adding a hydrogen and the other carbon a hydroxide. Addition of water to alkenes which also contain a stereocenter does not lead to a 50:50 mixture of R and S products as the chiral center can reduce reactivity from one side of the carbocation.

A substitution mechanism that occurs with the leaving group leaving in the first step, creating a carbocation intermediate, followed by the nucleophile entering is called S N 1 - substitution nucleophilic unimolecular.

Heats of hydrogenation can be used to show the special stability of benzene compared to what would be expected for a theoretical cyclohexatriene molecule. Benzene rings can be fused together to give larger aromatic compounds with mutliple rings called polycyclic aromatic compounds (or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).
