A first cousin once removed (or loosely second cousin) is the child of one's first cousin.
As a functional group, benzene and substituted benzenes are called arenes. Nomenclature: Functional group suffix = -benzene (review) Functional group prefix = phenyl-Substituted benzenes are usually named as such.The relative positions can be denoted as 1,2- = ortho-, 1,3- = meta-and 1,4- = para-substitution.When polysubstituted, the numbers alone are used, e.g. 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene.omenclature: Functional group suffix = -benzene (review) Functional group prefix = phenyl-Substituted benzenes are usually named as such.

Aromatic hydrocarbons, or arenes, are those that have at least one benzene ring in them. A benzene ring is a ring of six carbon atoms with three double bonds. The formula for benzene, the simplest arene and base structure for all others, is C6H6. Any compound with a benzene ring is called an aromatic compound. There are many such compounds, which tend to be carcinogenic.
