An acyl group is a functional group derived by the removal of one or more hydroxyl groups from an oxoacid including inorganic acids.
Alkyl vinyl aryl acyl.
A vinyl halide is clearly a species with a formula h 2c c x h in which a halide is directly bound to an olefinic bond formally this is ethylene h 2c ch 2 with one of the hydrogens substituted by a heteroatom vinyl chloride h 2c chcl is an example.

Alkyl groups and aryl groups are two examples of functional groups.
Note that phenyl groups are not the same as benzyl groups which consists of a phenyl group attached to a methyl group and has the molecular formula c 6 h 5 ch 2.
An aryl refers to any functional group or substituent derived from an aromatic ring be it phenyl naphthyl thienyl indolyl etc.
Rearrangement of suitably constituted aryl alkyl or vinyl radicals by acyl or cyano group migration.
Summary acyl vs alkyl group.
Acyl and alkyl groups act as functional groups when attached to a carbon chain.
The most basic aryl group is phenyl which is made up of a benzene ring with one hydrogen atom substituted for some substituent and has the molecular formula c 6 h 5.
The main difference between alkyl and aryl groups is that alkyl groups do not have aromatic rings whereas aryl groups have aromatic rings in their structure.
The journal of organic chemistry 1997 62 26.
An aryl halide has general formula c 6h 5x in which an halide group x has substituted the aryl ring.
Both alkyl and aryl groups have carbon and hydrogen atoms.
