1. Which of the following is a characteristic feature of aromatic compounds?
They are typically saturated hydrocarbons.
They contain a benzene ring or similar cyclic structure.
They readily undergo addition reactions.
They have an open-chain structure.
2. According to Hückel's rule, for a compound to be aromatic, it must have:
4n π electrons
(4n + 2) π electrons
2n π electrons
6 π electrons only
3. The delocalization of π electrons in a benzene ring results in enhanced .
