Benzimidazole contains a 5-member ring which by itself (lacking the benzene ring) is called "imidazole". Another 5-member ring heterocycle is called "thiophene". Thiophene and imidazole are both aromatic compounds. Please rationalize this claim in a sentence or two, based on your understanding of Huckel's rule and also rationalize by drawing resonance structures showing the stabilization. (Hint: it's easiest to start with thiophene). thiophene imidazole
