Benzene C6H6 || AROMATIC || Aromaticity in BENZENE
This video explains why Benzene is aromatic.
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
Benzene is aromatic, because
1. It is cyclic
2. It is planar
3. It has delocalized pi electrons system.
4. It satisfies Huckel’s rule (presence of (4n +2)π electrons. It has 6 π electrons
