Question

Aromatic compounds:

• A. Contain (4n + 4) $\pi$-electrons
• B. contain (4n + 2) $\pi$-electrons
• C. $C_n{H}_{2n-2}$ general formula
• D. Highly reactive

Answer 1

The correct option is B contain (4n + 2) $\pi$-electrons

Huckel's rule: It states that if a cyclic, planar conjugated molecule has (4n + 2) $\pi$-electrons, it is considered as an aromatic compound.
