diphenyl compound does not follow huckle rule for an organic compound to be aromatic, yet it is aromatic. how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does follow huckel's rule...

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

it does follow huckel rule sir!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... it doesn't. according to huckle rule it must have 14 \[\pi\] electrons to be aromatic but it has only 12 pi electrons. then how does it follow the rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It may have 12 e- but there are two rings with individual conjugation...

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

u have to consider two different aromatic ring !!!huckel rule apply for only the electron present in one ring!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
