The total number of aromatic species generated in the following reactions is

- A zero
- B 2
- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Criteria for aromaticity (Huckel rule) The cyclic \(\pi\) molecular orbital (electron cloud) formed by overlap of \(p\) -orbitals must contalu \((4 n+2) \pi\) -electrons, where \(n=\) integer 0,1,2,3 Pte. This is known as Huckel rule.
