Write the differences between AROMATIC and ANTI AROMATIC compounds
This video explains differences between aromatic and anti aromatic compounds.
( Please note down it is anti aromatic, not non-aromatic in the first point)
A compound is aromatic if it possess the following characteristics
1. The compounds should be cyclic
2. They must be planar
3. They should contain delocalized pi electrons system.
4. They must satisfy Huckel’s rule (presence of (4n +2)π electrons
Anti aromatic compounds
1. Anti aromatic compounds are cyclic, planar with conjugated pi bonds, but do not follow (4n+2) 𝛑 rule.
2. They do not obey Huckel’s rule
3.They are less stable compared to aromatic and non-aromatic compounds.
4. Anti aromatic compounds are less stable and more reactive.
