ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

This multi-step exercise set presents us with organic structures and asks us to identify which of them are aromatic. Recall that there are three criteria for aromaticity:

(1) The compound must be cyclic, forming a flat planar ring;

(2) There must be an overlapping system of \(\pi\) orbitals around the ring;

(3) The ring must contain \((4 n+2) \pi\) electrons, where n  is either 0 or a positive integer.
