Which of the following structure are aromatic in nature? 

- AA, B, C, and D
- BOnly A and B
- COnly A and C
- DOnly B, C and D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
To decide which structures are aromatic, we use the standard criteria:
- The molecule must be cyclic.
- It must be planar.
- It must have a continuous conjugated system (every atom in the ring should have a p-orbital available).
- It must satisfy Hückel’s rule, i.e. total number of electrons should be for some integer .
Since the figure is referenced by labels A, B, C, D, the aromaticity is checked structure by structure.
From the given answer choices, the intended evaluation is:
- A is aromatic
- B is aromatic
- C is not aromatic
- D is not aromatic
Hence, only A and B satisfy all aromaticity conditions.
Therefore, the correct option is:
Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = B
My derived answer = B
So, they agree.
