What is the significance of delocalised electrons in aromatic compounds?

Back

Delocalised electrons contribute to the stability and unique properties of aromatic compounds.

Front

Define aromaticity.

Back

Aromaticity is a property of cyclic compounds with a planar structure, complete delocalisation of π electrons, and follows Hückel's rule (4n + 2 π electrons).

Front

What is Hückel's rule?

Back

Hückel's rule states that a planar, cyclic molecule is aromatic if it has 4n + 2 π electrons, where n is a non-negative integer.

What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in benzene?

Back

sp² hybridization.

Front

What type of structure does benzene have?

Back

Benzene has a planar, hexagonal structure.

Front

What is the resonance energy of benzene?

Back

The resonance energy of benzene is approximately 36 kcal/mol, indicating its stability due to resonance.

Front

What is the difference between aromatic and non-aromatic compounds?

Back

Aromatic compounds have delocalised π electrons and follow Hückel's rule, while non-aromatic compounds do not.
