Question

An aromatic molecule will

(a) have 4n π-electrons

(b) have (4n + 2)π-electrons

(c) be planar

(d) be cyclic

Answer 1

Correct option (b)**(c) (d)**

Explanation:

An aromatic molecule will have :

(b) (4n + 2)π-electrons (by Huckel'* rule)

(c) planar structure (due to resonance)

(d) cyclic structure (due to presence of sp2-hybrid carbon atoms).
