The Huckel rule for aromaticity connects...

The Huckel rule for aromaticity connects aromatic stability (High delocalization energy or high resonance energy) with the presence of ____`pi` electrons in a closed shell.

A

`(4n)`

B

`4n+1`

C

`(4n+2)`

D

`(4n+3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Huckel's rule applies to flat carbocyclic species where each C in the ring is capable of providing a p orbital for extended `pi` bonding. In order to be aromatic, such a species must have `(4n+2)pi` delocalized electrons, where n equals zero or a whole number.
