Correct answer: D
-
Identify the compound
Cyclohexene is a six-membered carbon ring containing one double bond.
Its structure is:
-
Check whether it is aromatic
For a compound to be aromatic, it must:
- be cyclic,
- be planar,
- have continuous conjugation,
- satisfy Hückel's rule: electrons.
Cyclohexene has only one double bond, so the ring is not fully conjugated. Therefore, it is not aromatic.
So, options A and B are not suitable because they refer to benzenoid compounds, which are benzene-like systems.
-
Check whether it is acyclic
Cyclohexene is clearly a ring compound, so it is not acyclic.
Hence, option C is incorrect.
-
Classify the compound correctly
Cyclohexene is:
- cyclic
- non-aromatic
- aliphatic in nature
Such compounds are called alicyclic compounds.
Therefore, the correct option is:
-
Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: D
Derived answer: D
These match.
