Answer #1
Concepts and reason

The Hückel's rule is used to classify behavior of the organic compounds into aromatic, antiaromatic, and nonaromatic.

Fundamentals

Hückel's rule:

In organic chemistry, aromatic compounds must obey (4n+ 2)a electrons
rule and should have a planar, cyclic structure and fully conjugated (delocalized) double bonds.

Aromatic compounds must possess the following:

• Cyclic

• Planar

• Conjugated pi electrons

• Obeys (4n+ 2)a electrons
, where n is a whole number.

Antiaromatic compounds must possess the following:

• Cyclic

• Planar

• Conjugated pi electrons

• Obeys (4n) electrons
, where n is a natural number.

Nonaromatic compounds: (other than both)

• acyclic

• nonplanar

• nonconjugated pi electrons

(A)

• Cyclic

• Planar

• Conjugated pi electrons

4n electrons

So, the compound is antiaromatic.

(B)

• NH

• Cyclic

• Nonplanar

• Conjugated pi electrons

(4+2)n electrons

• Nonaromatic due to nonplanar

So, the compound is nonaromatic.

(C)

• Cyclic

• Planar

• Nonconjugated pi electrons

• Nonaromatic due to nonconjugated pi electrons

So, the compound is nonaromatic.

(D)

• Cyclic

• Planar

• Conjugated pi electrons

18 n electrons

• Aromatic

So, the compound is aromatic.

(E)

• Acyclic

• Nonplanar

• Nonconjugated pi electrons

• Nonaromatic

So, the compound is nonaromatic.

Ans: Part A

O
