Answer:
Correct Answer: 12. ( d )
Solution:
- Aromatic compounds are stable due to resonance while non-aromatics are not. According to Huckel’s rule (or $4 n+2$ rule), “For a planar, cyclic compound to be aromatic, its $\pi$ cloud must contain $(4 n+2) \pi$ electrons, where, $n$ is any whole number.” Thus,
are aromatic and stabilised by resonance. They follow Huckelโs rule.
