Answer:
option b is correct
2 p electron makes aromatic
Explanation:
An aromatic compound which is cyclic, planar and has a complete conjugate ring must have (4n + 2)pi electrons(Huckel's rule)
Huckel's Standard (4n+2 rule): For a compound to be an aromatic, a particle must have a specific number of pi (electrons with pi bonds, or lone pairs inside p orbitals) inside a shut loop of parallel, adjoining p orbitals. The pi electron tally is characterized by the arrangement of numbers created from 4n+2 where n = zero or any positive whole number (i..e, n = 0, 1, 2, and so forth.). The most widely recognized case in six pi electrons (n = 1) which is found for example in benzene, pyrrole, furan, and pyridine.
where n is the number of pi electrons
where n = 0
(4n +2) pi electrons = 2pi electrons
attached is an example of aromatic which is cyclic, planar and a complete conjugate ring
Answer:
2 p electrons.
Explanation:
For any compound to be considered an aromatic compound it must be cyclic,flat, conjugated and it must obey Huckel's rule that states an aromatic compound must have 4n + 2 pi electrons in it's p orbitals for it to be an aromatic compound.
n can represent an integer from 2, 6,10, 14,........
The lone pair is actually in a pure 2p orbital perpendicular to the ring, which means they count as π electrons.
