Another one about aromaticity:

Last one got cut out choice D second question:

OpenStudy (photon336):

For the second question which one of those isn't aromatic

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Are you familiar with hückles rule?

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

Sorry @Photon336 i was at work all day! So for the second one (the ones with the crown compounds) if you look at the Huckel's rule which is 4n+2 the one that doesn't follow is B which follows the 4n rule so it's non aromatic.

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

As for the first I'm stuck. A follows the 4n rule but I looked it up and it said that it was aromatic so I don't really know for that one. B I'm pretty sure that one is aromatic as well but it could be that one. C I don't think it's that one cause it has the overlapping p orbitals because I'm assuming at the top of the point is a pair of lone electrons. And D follows the 4n+2 rule unless I managed to count wrong which I definitely could have.

OpenStudy (rushwr):

hey I am totally new to this . But can I try one? For te 1st one I think it is the answer A is it correct?

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

@Rushwr im pretty sure A is the correct answer as it doesn't follow Huckel's rule of 4n+2 it goes by the 4n rule meaning it's non aromatic

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I still haven't learned these!

http://openstudy.com/users/taramgrant0543664#/updates/55a9d8e5e4b038ffab0bb4f7 I made a small tutorial about aromaticity if you want to check it out

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Thank you so much @taramgrant0543664

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

No problem!!!

OpenStudy (photon336):

We can rule D out for sure right away because it follows 4n+2 rule, it's cyclic planar, and fully conjugated system.

OpenStudy (photon336):

I think C would be aromatic because 4n+2 n =1, and those electrons participate in the pi system. also that's cyclic conjugated and planar.
